Here We Are

Godwin Godson

Here we are

Without our feelings

Stripped and bare

Like old empty buildings

Here we are

Filled with lust

Our nonchalant chore

Making us losing course

Here we are

Harbinger of vain

Counting rain

And soaked in pain

Here we are

Without our eyes

Without our legs, hands

Without our minds

Here we are

The know-it-alls

Laughing by and by

In the midst of wars

Here we are

Knock on our door

It’s Mr conscience

Just back from war

From pain and suffering

With a question for you and me

And he asks

Where are we?
