Desolate

empty

 I am empty,
energy low
my soul desolate
drained
I am
a shack
amidst a sea
of shacks
in a crowd
I am
pained
alone
they lived
they shared
they toiled
laughed
and played
united
Africans
united
then came
the
dark dog
of greed
the
destroyer
the seed
of desolation
and
tore
them
apart
Ubuntu
vok soontoe
I kill
you dead
burn
your bed
crush
your head
stop
stop
dead  in
your tracks
the one
you destroy\
is you
muntu
you kill
