So the morning cock crows,i turn and toss
On my bed of straws and half eaten grass
I open my eyes in a slow motion kind of way..its another day..another sunrise
Just as usual i say my prayers,coz as its said God for us all and man for himself
After that i slowly get my tired and worn out body,my hand so full of blisters and black as coal...my heels cracked and dry...
M y hair full of lice and dirt..
My forehead..dark and hard..having seen the better and bitter part of the scorching sun..
I put on my rag like clothes....splash the only thing that seems free around...........water.... on my face
My stomach rumbles..i remember..for a person of my calibre..a meal a day is all i can afford...and yea..its a celebration wen i get to eat twice a day..which i did..yeasterday...
I stop reminscing..back to reality now...i put on my slippers
Walks into the darkness.......
The darkness swallows me up..eats me up...
The darkness..
The darkness that is my life..
The darkness
