Dilemma Leo Mbalamana
I was sitting on the porch
Surrounded by darkness I saw a man glazing a torch
I kept looking at him to see what will happen
He raised his weapon
And started shooting at my cabin
The bullets pierced through the wood I could smell it burn
To avoid any injuries I decided to twist and turn
Involuntarily action is something you don’t learn
But if you don’t do it your life you will not earn
I rushed back inside to comfort my daughter
Before this man opens the door to slaughter
Suddenly the shooting stopped, I was still in shock
All I could hear was the ticking of my clock
I rushed to a cupboard where I kept my semiautomatic
This was about to get catastrophic
I looked at my daughter and told her not to panic
I’ll handle this satanic titanic
