The Killer Beast In Me

The killer beast in me There’s a potent killer beast that lives in me, That slowly rips my flesh apart that you can’t see. It came to existence through reckless pleasures, Now this life is lived to certain measures. This killer within has made me weak And for many years afraid to speak It eats my flesh and leaves me bones One day my chest will be packed with stones Show mercy upon us beast don’t let us mourn Forgive our children and the newly born That you have made orphans in the care of poverty And now they lay hungry in the arms of sympathy And through you I feel like I’m a shame You’ve made me anger that passes blame You’ve turned us human like you a beast Were we rape and murder like it’s a feast? But today we’ve learnt to know you better And with positive thought we’ll cure the matter Cause together as one we will stand To fight against your upper hand We’ve given you the honour for far to long And no more shall we dance to the boring HIV/Aids song Cause all you are is just a horrible beast But triumph will come and we will feast.
