Blunt spear

From infancy I was raised to be somebody
To withstand life threatening challenges
Illiteracy, supremacy and poverty 
A blunt spear you me to die in life’s battle field

A spear in a man’s hand lacking skill is futile.
A spear tossed aimlessly is futile
A spear will never be honed by greed
A spear will never poke deception	

You trapped my mind in cage
You tied up my hands with your strings of education
You made me believe, I’m nothing without education
You turned me into a beggar 

I beg food and life necessities from capitalist
Using degrees, diplomas and certificates you name them
You turned me into a clean hobo because I rent a roof over my head
You conned my mind and left me with overrated pieces of papers

Artist, still strive to survive dominance of academic and capitalism 
My art 	they underrated, they aim to kill my talent
My art is sharper than their blunt spear, overrated education
My art is my life, my spear to conquer in life.
