sweeping clean the street
for I thought you were my protector
little did i know that you are my detractor
sorry I forgot it isn’t personal , you are just contracted
told and ordered by the deceiving dictator
master i am a little distracted
i wonder why i am restricted
by this foreign evil creator’s instructions
it was nice master when we all celebrated
a couple of years ago, when we all felt liberated
when we felt extremely victorious
now everyone seems simply vicious
and i whose face is pale and dry
have to make way before the world makes it here
i am forsaken for i am considered unfitting and dirty
my master believe i can no longer be here
hence I feel like an orphan hidden in the back room
as guest dine and wine in the leaving room
what is so awful about my poverty
i am no thief nor murderer i am just poor
i see you clean well
with your guns you sweep souls like dirt
wish you could sweep the parliament
rid all scum and their scams and leave me alone!
all I can do is to paint the town
dull, gray, and dirty black and pink
i am just a constant reminder
of vicious acts the world would like to forget!!
Sing Along Somebody
Somebody,
Anybody,
sing me a sweet song
Something gentle
Something smooth
Something soothing
I would like to jive
To the rise of jembes
The melodies of
roaring marimbas
My heart beat
Yearn for earthly
Sounds of harmony
The rhythm of hands clapping
Feet stamping
Come on my Africa
Clap, clap and stamp
Let your voice rise
Soothe the ears of the world
Ease the tension in between
With your harmonic wisdom
Sing, somebody
sing ,anybody
sing, everybody
sing,
I sing
Sing along!
shadow of my heart
come with me to a place in my private space
where the shadow of my heart reside
come lean on my shoulder where peace obtained citizenship
where your worries will be held in my two arms
and your burden will be lifted out of your way.
come with me...
to a place only you may enter
a place in the shadow of my heart
where the hot summer day is filtered as per your desire
where your sweet heart will no no pain by my hands
your royal highness, your mighty crown awaits you
come be the queen and I the servant shall serve you
I will be your Knight if you let me
I will brighten your nights just let me
my soul is bare and in your arms
my heart is pure and all yours
come with me to a place where the shadow of my heart rules
where every thought is inspired by your spark
where your glow is welcomed as heavenly gift
come light my fire...!
