9Ja Palava

One jumble 
For the pains
So I no go fumble 
Even amidst trouble
For this rumble of life.

My brain
Dey burst
This thinking 
Don dey cause migraines
Make me won to migrate 
To a place 
Where I feel calculate and relate.

Even when I meditate 
I no fit get the kind state 
Of mind I need 
I've got a turbulent mindset 
This country no easy for anyone 
No body to lean on, come make am over hard.
