As conciousness uncovered, <br />A woman clang kneeling, <br />hugging the trousers, <br />a man at rage, <br />she teared all over. <br />blank covered me. <br />Confusion enthralled me. <br /> <br />My first glance of the world, <br />Terror struck me, <br />The incident shaken me, <br />though I never understand, <br />my emotion told me, <br />there's an error of my existence. <br /> <br />Days passed I knew, <br />My surfacing is a moss, <br />None cares, so do my brothers. <br />who cares not even my sisters, <br />dirt' they called us, <br />throw stones of belittling, <br />salivating the pay, <br />to feel the world is empty <br />as we are enemy. <br /> <br />Tears rolled the highways, <br />she is there witnessing, <br />she just advice to be humble, <br />let them pass, ignore, <br />don't fight back. <br />I argued, she is firm. <br />she was beaten, <br />I am harden. <br />Deep, deep deep, <br />inside me a boiling fire grow, <br />she knew but appealed me, <br />I still stood firmly, <br />to revenge for her, <br />yet, she said be kind. <br />she said forgive, <br />she said forget, <br />she said be good, kind <br />she said accept, <br />let go, and let live, <br />in the realm of God's patience, <br />because God called her <br />' Paciencia'!<br /><br />Susan T.
