Entry Description:
THE LAST CRY
How many cries need I count
- before you hear my pain.
To crack open this shroud
- enveloping me, its threads
- woven by war, famine, poverty
How many cries have fallen
- muffled by the good deeds of men,
- hiding the hurts against women.
How many cries have died
- as my children died, one by one
- as I will soon die.
How many cries?
- No more cries. I have none left to give.
