Soul Askew
Soul Askew
the greed for power, money too,
rich think they are better, due,
halos slip, slip-slides askew,
self serving, self deletes,
self judges, self repeats,
next time on sorrows street,
reborn, the ever whining meet,
the self bought,
humble stew,
ironic its not new,
subtle ends, an sour deceit,
parasitics, souls defeat,
starvation conquers you,
does the lesson educate,
or is it pointless too,
why we suffer, calculate,
but logic says its true,
reason for debate,
be honest and true blue,
cos Africa can wait,
but suffering renews,
our spiritual estate,
you little bugger you…
