Like a punch hard in the ear the news felt
More weight was placed on our shoulders
Out of the window all hope went
When life gave her hardest hit with her teeth clenched
Sweeping us off our feet
Broken
Tradition without saying a word forced us to stay
Leaving a family a body dismembered
With freedom of speech and expression silent we remained
Letting the injustices of culture and tradition take their course
He got lost in the wind
Leaving only a dark cloud with his name stamped on
Hazy memories of a smile that left us broken
Giving thought about none
He upped and left
And ever since,
The news have become food poisonous for thought
Questions unanswered
BROKEN
