Oh cry!.. why?Cry because the nation is burningLike wildfire spreading faster than lightBringing tears from the eyesTears that flow like the river nile Oh cry!.. why?For the pain of our fallen heroesFor the struggles of our parentsFor the hope of a better worldOne with peace and happiness Oh cry!.. why?So that our voices can be heardThe sounds of our pain can be feltMaybe … [Read more...] about Cry!, By: Sonde Yemi
