DIRGE

I am a friend like your friend
a brother like your brothers
a husband like your husbands
a man like your men
an enemy of your enemies
of all a child like your children
and a boy like your boys
but why do you see me like a dog

i am a girl like your girls
a sister like your sisters
a wife like your wives
a woman like your women
a lady like your ladies
a woman like the other women
but why do you reject me

you make me walk so dejected
why am i rejected
just because i am seen like a reject
just because i live among street urchins
just because my parents died of HIV/AIDS
just because i don't have genesis and  nemesis
why do you call me names because of my black complexion
why do you assault my bending posture
why why why why i don't fit even in the human race
why am i a fugitive among the free

dear GOD why is this happening to me
dear JESUS why is this playings to me
please BUTHA the lord of mercy why all this antics
oh the THE MOST HIGH JAH RASTAFARAE why this to me
dear the most gracious ALLAH why is this to me
dear all the the other forgotten gods why is this to me

this is because i am kicked like a dog
given left overs like a dog to hog
shame is upon my face because of the sins of my mum
in the village people see and talk about me
i have been rejected by my blood brothers and sisters
all they wait is my funeral ceremony to eat and drink
to say prince caji was good when they rejected me long time
to read my EULOGY full of lies
to hypocritically cry saying he was my friend and my blood brother
to make people believe i was good but when i died long time in their hearts
all they were waiting is to be told of my corpse to be buried
why is this to me

i cry upon the mourning dawn because it is the beginning of conflicts and sorrow
i am crying and morning to see me living
but will be happy when i will hear the booming sounds of stones upon my casket
i will jump and clap when i will see my corpse being cremated
i will be happy because my structure bound on flesh will be over
i will be happy when i will know conflicts,pain and sorrows will be over
but i will be sad when i will be waiting for my judgement 
i will be happy to see those who rejected
i will be happy to see my a late mum who died because of the rejection
but human race are evil
human race are jealous
human race are greedy
human race have no love
human race have no kinship in their hearts
of all JESUS said you will be rejected by your brothers and sisters
and your close friends and family will kill you and make you suffer

but i am waiting for the will of GOD to happen in my life
prince caji(the ghetto child)
from Kenya the capital city of AFRICA
