Have mercy on us Rtr. Laura Lungu Rotaract Club of Watamu Have mercy on us All my bones are out of joint; my heart is like melted wax, my throat is as dry as dust, and my tongue sticks on the roof of my mouth. Have mercy on me! To you, I am a child who needs you and just one woman’s compassionate heart is what will save me. A first-born among three ,
Beggars can’t be choosers. ‘’Cry for things you can’t change’’ I don’t use that! And if this is an A B conversation, then I’ll C my way in church. Houses; a home to all little boys and girls who never have one . We rob you at the same time beg, but what do we do? We are afraid to kill us.
THIS IS THE RULE WE ARE FIGHTING! It is right for us even though it feels wrong. Have mercy on us!
since the first born has to grown up faster than usual. I was never clocked that way. I never knew time was not my friend but company for me. Have mercy on me! I haven’t had something warm in a meal, who knows I’m whistling past the graveyard. For me tomorrow is going to be just like today because today is just like yesterday. Sometimes it’s just so sad to find ‘those’ moments. Have mercy on me! Love,care,kindness,food and time is all I need from you. You thought I would take more for you to hate me, quick question, ‘’Why were you rude to me the first time I begged you then nicer the second time I begged and now you are here listening to me. Which time was it you were pretending? My life is a vacation it just never lasts long enough. Have mercy on me! You say that am not trapped in this life, I choose it. D9212 MAGAZINE
