Poem: For the Love of Lawsa by Ugonna Ugwuadu
For the love of Lawsa
We feast on the downfall of a family member
Like predators, we search for our next prey
Fresh meat to feast on
With wide smiles on our faces
For the love of Lawsa
We feast on the downfall of a family member
Like predators, we search for our next prey
Fresh meat to feast on
With wide smiles on our faces
The city you left waved you away with a clouded eye
& the city you embark on wears you in diverse colours ;
An old time friend, your lonely mother,your childhood competitor who
Is willing to measure your success in notes.
If you love happy endings.
I do too, but sometimes
happiness takes me
to the edge of a grief
and leaves me there
hanging like a broken kite
