When You Let Me Down

When You Let Me Down

My heart cracks,

some cracks will heal

others will become scars

a permanent reminder

that not all is well

that this ain’t perfect

like aging walls

the cracks open way

for unwanted inhabitants

to penetrate through

messing this special thing

making me weak

making me no more meek

fragments or our fragile hearts

keeps our bodies going one more steps

but how long can this wreckage

withstand the withering weather

when you let me down

and maybe because I deserve it

think of the dust that will never settle

think of the ache that may never heal

and if you and I are to share tomorrow

will you survive the rough of my tears

the storm that my heart will brew

will you survive?

When you let me down

and maybe I am no better man

maybe I too let you down

will this cutting and biting

make any of us better

or are we drowning

in the dungeon of our mistakes

where we can’t escape our pity emotions

when I let you down

think of when you let me down

maybe forgive my short sight

maybe forgive my imperfections

maybe this way we both will heal

i believe

i believe in the silver line,

that behind every tarnishing storm

there is some calamity and greatness

that man are not all lost

and that where there is a way

there is a navigator

and that alligators can be avoided

that we are not void

i believe in sunshine

and blue skies

that all pain is temporary

i believe we are here for a reason

i believe that each and every one of us

is an entity and embodiment

of life and God’s will

i believe………

Free "DOM" fight us

they fight for mineral rights
for tenders and grants
feeding millions with illusions
as they rise on the corporate
snakes and ladder
using acquired roles
to rule the masses
while slowly
stealing millions
making head lines
harassing the media
for the head line
once more
using state power
to inject pain
to the butt of their critics
using millions to elude the masses
gradually they have grown
untouchable
untameable
unspeakable

free “dom” fight us
this minority of intellects
undermines the intellect
of the masses,
hence all the mess,
all the merciless acts
barbaric tactics
that enriches the few
while they continue to attend
lobal conference on hunger in Africa
with their hot bellies
they spread word
on how Africa suffers
yet they are the bottle neck
of wealth distribution
they redirect what belongs to the masses
to their own smaller masses
or may I say, messes.

Free “dom” fight us
