Letter To My Wife

Dear love,
I hope you are peacefully alive.
Pass my regards to mum and dad.
Hopefully, they are alive.
I just wanted to tell you
That you are the mother
To my only son, now.

The other one's silent
Sliced by the peacemakers
They were here yesterday
And left blood in streets
The sorrow here
And the sorrow there.

Desta was playing at home
The low cry was enough a tale
There was a stream of warm blood
She gave a sigh and lay still
She hasn't talked yet
My efforts bore no talk

She lies among others
Our sins have cost us
Am sorry darling.
Our little love's gone
She did not dance today
The questions she won't ask.

I now have to go back
We will leave here tomorrow
To bring her for the sendoff
She deserves one now
She was a deserving girl
This one is the last.

Take heart, dear
We belong wrongly
Our origin a sin you know
We have always lived wrong
We shall overcome
This evil that eats us

Tell mum and dad to keep smiling
This should not make them sad
In peace we will send her
And move on to the next day
And the next, and the next
Till we reach there one time.

Goodbye, my dear,
I love you.
Daughterless father.
