The bell rang at twelve o'clock
The bell for lunch
The bell that stimulates stomachs
The bell that reminds me about home
The bell to have food

I ran quickly to get there
To find the delicious food
To find the bitter food
To find water on the table
As long as it is food.

When I arrived, I was sad
When my mother saw me
When she was crying
When she was thinking much
A8bout my cruel father.

I asked mum for food
I asked why she was sad
I asked why dad never cares
I asked if he loved me
I asked if am a goal post

"Ask your dad for food",
I could never imagine this.
Dad slapped and insulted me
I don't love you, he said.

You are a prostitute, he said.
Like your mum
I am not your father
You better take your way

My way too?
I asked him.
He wanted to slash me
slash me with a panga

I went back to school
The world is cruel
The classmates are harsh
I regretted the day I was born

I never gave up
Human beings are not God
They will never spell out my life
I left the home and moved away
Moved away with my sweet Mummy

I am much inspired
I will never despair
l love everyone kind
Cruelty is hell.
