Nowhere To Go

NOWHERE TO GO By: Sikolwethu Mthethwa Where do the sinners go Where do the ones without a shred of hope left go Where do the slighted go Where do the confused youths go Where do the heavily burdened  go Nowhere All of them stay here The sinners roam the  Earth till death The hopeless hopelessly search for hope until they lose hope of finding hope The slighted fall in between the cracks in Lady Justice's hands never to see her in action for them The confused youths tirelessly search for a sense of direction Exposed to deception all in the name of finding a place to belong The heavily burneded soldier on with their burdens on their withering backs They wear their troubles as if they were slacks All the while the world revolves on its axis Each person at war with something So there really isn't time to stop and ask what makes the next man cry And you can't change that, I dare you to try.
