Abiyamo (Motherhood)

Sweating unsweetened sweat
Sweetening her sweating soul
Sweat sourcing sweet in sweat
Stressing sweat to save her seed
.

Sweat sweetens saving the son
Sweating to save him sweat
Sweat sweetens if son doesn't sweat
So is Son, when not stressed
.

Spending saturdays sweating under the sun
Sacrificing Sunday service selling
Seven days search for the son's survival
Ceases several societal socials
.

Suffering in silence
Serving and starving
Starving and smiling
Smiling in struggle
.

Struggle gives her scars
Scars degrade her status
Status makes her sweat
Sweat makes her son smile
.

Wonderful use of assonance, consonance and word play. S, s, s... Wonderful but packed with a heavy message on the sacrifices of motherhood.
