Eksugist Poetry Friday: Elbow by Aina Damilare

"ELBOW"
I broke my leg,
In process of
Fighting for freedom.



I broke my head,
In process of
Carrying adversity of truth.

I broke my hand,
In process of
Touching peoples lives.

My heart was broken,
To think about how
We have being treated
Like peasants.

My hope melt down
Like ice heated by sun
When thinking
Of my country.

My heart tingles when
Reminiscing the tenderness
Of our mother.
My hair spikes
To hear the word "Freedom".
