IN BABY OSINYAS EYES*; a Larry Liza poem Mama, wake up mama, up take me home The cries are too much, tears an ocean Helter skelter the people run, others down Watery tomato sauce dripping from my head Wake up, mama, wake up take me home Open your eyes mama, for am in pain Offer me Calpol, my head on fire Wont you listen to my cry, mama? Strange hands, no shame for my tears? Arise mama, ts time to return home I am laid atop a table, their mouths covered Behind veils, their heads as well, mama With clothed hands they pass shiny objects Then drift into my world to watch them work But where are your familiar hands, mama? In my world I see tears, prayers of a nation I awaken mama, arise to live and love To suckle the plastic nipple, hold the cap ring Your milk duct now a tube, bottle breasts Where art thou, mama, come take me home I heard other babies cry away from cameras Will they consider and make them whole Or will they leave when we leave, mama Will hearts that shout for me scream for them? Will you come for me and take me home? * Baby Satrin Osinyas mother was bullet slain at the Joy of Jesus Church attack in Kenya on 23rd March 2014.
