Once Upon a Time

by Gabriel Okara about the real world

By Sana MumtazPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Once upon a time, son,

they used to laugh with their hearts

and laugh with their eyes:

but now they only laugh with their teeth

while their ice cold eyes

search behind my shadow,

love poems
