The No-Say Mother


She is one of emotional zig zag

Psychological imbalance but yet got to get everything in order.

She is been to prison thrice every year 

Can you imagine the agony she bears just like Christ?

The pain she goes through  upon seeing her seeds been made to swallow acidic tablet as medicines with poisonous liquids as water?

After it all, it is said to be enough to set the seedling on a right pace for life.

How on earth could a golden city be set on such a foundation she wonders

She been in prison  prevents her from saying  No to the poison 

Saying No to the acidic tablets due to the psychological trauma

Saying No to the harm hurt and mutilation been inflicted on the seed like a sheep to be slaughtered 

The No- Say Mother is no where far from us but right  in our closet where the door is left ajar for the invasion of extended long sleeves

The No-Say Mother then becomes a prisoner

She gasps for freedom but to no avail

What a pity

What a misfortune 

What a disaster 

Oh Lisa! Run to the aid of The No-Say Mother
