Weep No More – (Fading Vapours)
July 31, 2009 by Webmaster
By Mercy Moige Mecha
Weep no more ,weep no more ,
Waste not tears ,
Copious tears on what’s fading,
A beautiful face and body
employment
sickness
riches
fame.
Weep not for these fleeting things,
They do not last.
They’ll soon be gone
They’re all like
vapors quickly
fading.
Wipe the tears and Cry no more,
Eyes filled with tears are not good for looking,
They see less little men suffering.
The beggar my friend
the street Urchin
the laden refugee
the hungry man
the handicapped
the terminally ill
the old and young, the enslaved, the feminine.
Turn the tears into a turbine,
Save the world from the strife you see.

beautiful…it touched my heart tremendously…well done!! x x x
there seems to be a disconnect between the two last stanzas. I guess a line was erased.
this is a great master piece, im proud of mercy, having gone to the same university with her.
i will appreciate if you came up with more poems touching on african issues such as corruption, constitution flaws, leadership,disease, resources,education system, capitalism in poor nations

Hey Miss Shigoli, I have written as regards Africa, keep reading and you will find it. Read the other poems and if you do not see Africa, talk to me again.

Wow Kristafar, thanks for your comments. I do believe with you reading my poetry, in simple steps, that fame will come , some day
Rogers you are right,I now see the disconnect between the second last and last stanzas, it has to do with the period. there should be an enjambment
