There is no roof above the head
There is no means of getting feed
Daily folks are being sent to the bend
To all these there seem to be no end.
The wears are now but withered rags
At the curves the sewing sags
Reliance regresses to bent-down boutique
With a little stitching it will surely fit.
Darkness drowns the crib, the fridge, nude
Life indeed has become very crude
They wish it all a big jest
Till laid to eternal rest.
Crime perpetrated before the protectors,
Death invited in by the healers,
Clan clothed men serving as masters
Over a community they regard as bastards.
Widely acclaimed is the pain
Strong a will must be to remain sane.
But amidst the clamour for change
No lips dare to kick off the bargain.
The moans and groans escalate
But the person will not retaliate.
All hearts hope unto a miracle
Seeking to reach that great pinnacle.
If they will not agitate for their emancipation,
Nor stand up against oppression
If they continue on the part of resignation,
Then for them there is no salvation. |
