Share Your Tears-Mother_Land Is not the burden too heavy for you,the children you tend must weaken you. Your back is haunched, You are weary and old. Daily they suckle from your sagging breast. Leaving soars and scars on aged nipples. Rest iya arugbo please rest. Maami The toddlers deafen you with their cries;each clamouring for your attention wanting a piece of your love. The older lads are no better, Squandering your treasures and stealing from your purse;they know not love as each try to surpass the other. Egbon has even left for the white mans land never to return. Werent you like the rock in the middle of the sea, Forever cooled by the flowing currents. Now the children you gave life have left you in the scorching heat and dried open land. Share your tears i plead, Place your eyes upon mine let me cry your cry. Let mucus run from my nostrils,let my throat be choked and heavy. No!give me your burden,that heavy heart is mine to carry. Share your tears i beseech you, Let us sing a dirge with our cries, And mourn your grave with heavy sighs. Land of my birth, please share your tears. #whatcanwordsdo? Maami-my mother Iya arugbo-old woman Egbon-elder brother.
