New Poem



Cry Old Man

Old man, leave him alone
You do not see him in the desert
Parched, choking on dry saliva
Tear-stains emblazoned on the face
You do not see him in this place

Old man, give him some water
Quench the burn and humiliation inside
Once a little boy on your shoulders
Now his sin tall enough for all to see
Leave him alone, set his soul free
