Mother May I MAG
December 2, 2008
Mother May I …
go and play amongst the blood red roses
where children scream eternally
never knowing the wild posies.
Mother May I …
laugh and sing for all to hear
and lead the frightened children
away into the Silva of despair.
Mother May I …
Dance and Cry in a scarlet colored sky
while drops of red come pouring down
from blood-filled clouds.
Mother May I …
say good-bye to all of those who have done their time
while jumping to their deaths to join their beloved friends
leaving only me to weep away the loneliness I drown myself in.
Mother May I …
leave or do you wish for me to stay
in a never-ending life of misery.
Mother May I …
No, sweet child, no.
© Emily F., Cape Town, South Africa
