Tears of the Sun

What is the point of waiting

for the tears of the sun? 

They will not come. 

and the parched soldiers 

of hatred's army 

will go home

deprived 

of the universal healer 

- the nectar of love 


They will return 

to their sunburnt homes 

tired, unquenched, infertile. 

The dry walls of those houses 

will look to them 

As a child 

looks at a bankrupt father.
