Every Day I Wake

Every day I Wake

By: YERDFOG. LBS (Pen name)

Every day I wake, I see
Every day I wake, I Smell
Every day I wake, I Hear
Every day I wake, I Fear

I Wake to see my father's child gutted to the ground cause' He is not of my land

I Wake to smell the rotten words of my leaders, because Greed is now their bread and butter.

I Wake to hear roaring chants, it is of cause my people calling out peace.

I Wake to Fear my own land, because I'm not of light complexion to walk freely amongst my own people.

That is, every day I wake...
