Mama Can you hear me?

I wrote this poem for the Assata forum when I was a moderator there....but I feel that it's more appropriate here.






Mama ,can you hear me?
I am in a place that I fear
I don’t belong here
Your daughter is screaming ,wanting to be near
You ,mama



Oh mama , I want to feel the sun
I want to play and run ,until night
Looking at the beautiful stars ,twinkling & bright
As I sleep under the blanket of night
In a place I do not know
I dream of you, Mama ,and I cry
I want to come to home to you , my Mama


I am in chains ,I am in pain
I miss feeling the warm Afrikan rain
Now the rain has become cold & and I’m in their savage hold
I want to be held , take away my fears
Wipe away my tears, your heartbeat is what I want to hear
I want to run to your arms ,Mama
Protect me from harm


Mama I need you , my heart is bleeding
You are hurting from the Yurugu’s greed
They have raped me , Mama ,in me I carry their
Evil seed from their vile deeds


Oh mama…I want to die
Be free and fly across the Afrikan sky
Lie on the grass ,and see the brightest star
You are no longer close ,you are too far
Away from me ,to see what they do to me


Oh , Mama oh, Afrika…please hear my cry…
