Tears Of Elders Poem by Chan Mongol

TEARS OF ELDERS
October 13,2018

My lifelong hardship and more tougher-suffer
While,Jesus died only with one time torture!
My sufferings are worst than Jesus
My outcries, tears occur simultaneous! !

Hopes and dreams broke by few catastrophic hurricanes
Cottage collapsed by excess of storms and sky-torn rains!
One lifetime is not enough to pay back loans
Who gave me so much are swept away by cyclones! !

I didn't have the chance and the time to repay
The raging flood took my loved folks far away!
Whom to blame? the god or my horrible fate
I couldn't take care of elders who are now out date! !

With cut down limb, my works remained done
I am in deep depression and lost also the vision!
The regret is getting mefor my incapable action
I couldn't be a good brother and a good son! !

Predecessors served the best they could
Don't be selfish, don't blame them but you do good!
The truth is, life is too short for us, all
Please, don't let tears of elders to fall! !

Chances don't come over and over to gain and to do
So, it will be a betrayal to leave the duty for tomorrow!
Let's stick with elders and nothing wrongin that
Elders cry and then die in your mean selfish concept! !
