What words
Will give colour
To the heart-break
Of children
Whose home
Bears the cross
Of demolition
For them,
the yawn
Of dawn brings
Disaster that will bind
Them to sorrow
What song will contain
The wails
Of children
the turmoil within
What words can convey
murmuring
Trapped within
waiting for the sun
to rise above
the dusty fury
of indifference
of the yellow monster
loudspeakers spelling out
the hasty retreat of their
dreams as they crumble
under the yellow monster
Tiro Sebina
