If they were us

They would have clenched their fists in rage if they were us If they were us, they would have squirmed with complaints Because they are comfortable, Our plights appears less bothering Less bothering because we would have done same , if we were them . Their promises are just sugar-coated words , After actualizing their conquests, their goals,they make us worse Worse by extorting our last pennies pennies from our wretched,messed up labor activities . Education being the key to success, now seems to rather lock up and delay dreams because, years meant for development are just spent Spent on lessons and challenges that are not even applicable in the future these lessons just stress minds that are already stressed since gestation Fingers should not point Tongues should not blame Our minds I believe are like joints The black melanin seems to jnject into this flame This flame of selfishness, ethnocentrism and embezzlement Where one belly desires to devour the meal of a whole populace The populace that forgets about their own development But focuses on snatching roles of the highly placed Now ask yourself, if we were them , will they wish they were us ? - evans_writes.
