Papa! Papa!
So many people are here but none of them are happy
Faces are so sad like someone has stolen their cookie
Everyone wears white but none of them are smiling
People are too busy with their work but you are not even moving
Papa! Papa!
Why my mom is crying? Why my sister is crying?
Why there are so many faces I haven’t ever seen for my life?
Why people mummers instead shout and laugh like they did yesterday?
Why don’t you talk to me papa? Why are you laying still?
Papa! Papa!
Look papa! Look! Your best friend is also here!
Tell those jokes, do that trick, you two always made me inspired
Today you both don’t smile, I don’t know why and no one tells me why
Look outside. It’s too dark. Come with me, I always sleep with you at night
Papa! Papa!
Now I know, I know why you are not talking to me papa!
I’ll be good, always tell the truth, I don’t ask for ice cream anymore
I don’t want that remote control car that I asked for my birthday papa!
I’ll promise, I’ll listen to you. Papa, just say a word to me to make me smile
Papa! Papa!
Mommy is lying. Mommy says that you won’t wake up again
Open your eyes. Raise your voice and tell her to never lie again
Don’t be so rude. You have never been rude. Why don’t you wake up and say
Say that you tricked me, say that you fooled me and never do that again

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your comments and wishes... I really appreciate your comments and thoughts. Specially when it comes to poetry, I would like to know how others feel about the persona of the poem and the poem it self. Thanks again for your thoughts... :)
ReplyDeletePS: To Anonymous; Why are you hiding your self if you haven't done anything wrong? Can you explain what you have written here and are you speaking with taking responsible? Looking forward a reply from you.
