Painful
I did not know
I did not foresee
I did not foresee.
Sudden responsibility
Sudden judgement
Sudden 'You didn't know?'
Apparent greed
Apparent wants that turned into needs
Apparent addications no longer just for fun.
Now we are here
Now there is no turning back
Some of us tried and the result was testing death.
This is what we wanted
all those years of longing and yearning for independence
No one told us it would be this painful.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
