Y// Mama Cried

I saw my mama cry I did not know why One afternoon, I wanted to play outside But what seemed so natural and right Became as if it was a sin, overnight No playing outside, to the home confined. I saw my papa cry I did not know why Next, we were on a boat at sea so wide It seemed like an endless boring ride Smelly, crowded, no place to hide Hungry, thirsty, tired, every thing tight I saw my mama cry I saw my papa cry I was sobbing too. Next, staying in a camp was our plight No room for me, still could not play outside My brother had become ill, proper care denied Limited food and drink, days later he died I saw my papa cry I saw my mama cry I was sobbing too. My crying was loud. I was shouting it out.
