Life A Benefactor
Life a benefactor, i tasted it once and that was all
it was bestowed on me by the great one who leaves up in the skies
But the so called intellectuals of the land deprived me of it
It gave me chance to walk through struggle and pain
when i wanted to be the best,
i turned out to be the last among the rest
favour was cast as a spell onto the substantial on
since society paid no attention
to the weaker ones to the weaker ones
The root which ensured my success
was cut down by a bulldozer, As i watched the scene
The dream ended and i began the walk of reality
A machine was pinned through my throat to speak the falsehood
In accordance the chamber of justice pleaded me guilty
I had no option than to pay the price with my life since
justice was bought with money
At dawn i caught a glimpse of the generation i dreamt of it
When a round ball speared through my stomach
Life was what he gave me but injustice was profound on me
