Background: This a poem, which I originally wrote for the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I have since re-dedicated it to Boston after the April 15, 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. #BostonStrong
To Boston from Gloria-Deo Agbasi
On some days, the rain comes down
In sheets so heavy
There is no sound.
On other days, I feel it light
Then sun shines out
The day is bright.
But how about those rainy days
When sad songs sing our world to blue?
My feelings and shadows are left in a daze
My heart just shudders
But leaves no clue.
People around us lose their lives
In ways so tragic –
(The rain again) –
While others shrug
And kill like flies
Young children on sleds,
Old women, and men.
