These are the others

A COUNTRY WEPT

As much as I try to ignore
Fake the inner pain and smile
While continuing to walk a mile
My hope is washed ashore
For right “in my very before”
Something that was live and I saw
Something that was loud and I heard
When the water was about to break
And the pregnant mind was about to leak
Honourable Minister was told it’s okay to put off his Mic
