"Broken But Beautiful" poem by Uzor (MPR Poems)
She's beautiful And young But she is afraid of love She wouldn't want to cry again Since her dear one ran away You loved her But she's not who mama wants ; She's yoruba. You can't look at her anymore Ever since you rose her belly up And left to marry Amaka The girl is sad She is tired of life Not knowing who to confide in Or share her pain with Because you too don't care Just like her only dear You are busy biting her skin With the stigma you show! She's just a kid And should be in school, we know. But you led her on to this road You told her not, what she should have known You thought children of 'adays know But look...Ola is now one month old She feels bad But you're now a father Why not be glad? No.. You still fear her father And not anymore in love with her You bring her fresh tears But shower Amaka with care And look... Your baby is fatherless Or without a father's care? You may have broken her, ...
