Does Ogbáànje Cry?

The Cries Of The Ogbáànje.
My mournful mother,
From the window of the sky, I peeped my eyes,
Feeding my innocent eyes on your tragedies.
I saw your uncontrollable teardrops
Falling down your cheeks like downpour,
I saw you tore your aso ebí
Like a fresh-mad man.
When you heard I had gone back
You cried out loud and barked,
Like a trapped dog's wail.
You rolled all over the dusty ground
And you breathed in, the uprising dust.
I wish, like my mates wished, not to leave you
But fate and destiny kept winning,
Qur'an,Bible even the Ògún tried to hold me back
But fate clinged on my neck like tree’s bark.
My mournful mother,
I wish I could wipe your tears with my palm,
But my spirit would not allow,
Let me be, and I’ll never come again,
To rekindle the excruciating pain.
#TheLivingPen.

I so much appreciate you guys for the comments.
But, none of my family members is lost. Just a poem... I just wrote the poem to sympathize with mothers who have had Ogbáànje as child.
Ogbáànje is an igbo word for reincarnated child, who usually comes back to torment their parents. 1 month ago

The post really hits hard with its themes of loss and fate. It reminds me how much it feels to lose something so deeply, even when surrounded by what one might see as hope from religion or culture. While it's sad, I can understand the struggle between holding onto love for someone who's no longer there and letting go, especially when others are still trying to find meaning in it. 1 month ago

The poetry is absolutely stunning, especially how it captures both the sorrow and the resilience. Themes of profound loss and confronting fate are beautifully portrayed here. It's a powerful commentary on how one deals with tragedy and the inevitability of destiny. The religious undertones add depth to the emotional journey. Condolences to your mother.
