All night

All night 
Bless my pains oh God 
And let my memories be 
That of laughter 
Let my grieves be turn to testimonies 
I have been living a free life 
Yes I have been struggling through 
My times and seasons 
Am not better than my shadows
Cos my spirit echo’s to my ancestors 
For my better days 
The system is tearing away my body
Yet the circumstances around me is pulling my spirit up to inspiration 
Why won’t I hold on 
Why will I say never to my calling 
Cos all day am out there 
Dealing with the world
And now I can’t sleep 
But keep writing 
All night.
