SON OF THE WORLD

One word

To describe

My life

Shit

Two words

To describe

My life

Cow shit

Am cow shit

Am dried in the sun

Am pounded

And left to decompose

All this

To be taken

To cultivate lives

To make others flourish

Yes! Am that cow shit

After all, what is sweeter

Than suffer for the sake

Sake of the world

I will cultivate them lives

Am that cow shit

I will suffer for them sake

Am that son of the world!

FAKE

If fake didn't exist

A bleeder would I be

If fake didn't exist

Then I won't exist

Chameleons surround me

One moment hurting

Next moment laughing

My face dull, at last faking a smile

Instants of low feeling

Even friends and family suck

You gonna look for an anybody

Stage imposition for an umpteenth period

With my sincere words

I would hurt,

Bleeding hearts

Murderous their nature

A times cooled by fake love

A times I cool by fake love

Hearts yet to be attacked

All thanks to fake love!

AM NOT THE ONE

Sometimes I feel like crying

Like bursting through the tummy of heaven

So as to face the almighty king

And ask him one terrible question

"Why God did you make humans mind unreadable?"

For people are always on my neck

With incorrect descriptions of me

My mind, my heart, my soul, my ...

When will they understand

That am not the way they think

I have no right to justify myself

For they claim am a pathological liar

A daylight devil

Who seeing other people suffer

My best breakfast ever under the scorching sun

Brothers and sisters

Schoolmates and home mates

Friends and enemies

Blacks and whites

Am not the one!
