Intimidation
What turn once a brave to coward
If not intimidation
What kills the moral of the brave
To turn cold and stay silent
If not intimidation
What keep the people
Quietly in fear
If not intimidation
What drives the poor insane
Yet he cannot say how he feels
If not intimidation
Our government intimidates
The hell out of us in Africa
We could hardly say what we want
Our mouth has no paddocks
Yet we cant speak
Speech is free
But not with this intimidation
All this men on black and black intimidates the hell out of our right
Openly they exort money from the poor on the streets
Openly they shoot at them too
Yet none can act
Either can everyone defend their right
All cursed by intimidation
Our law keeper intimidates us
How can you arrest a person
Who don't know the law
How could he know the law when
He got no means to
Was it his or her fault not to go to school
Or rather can they be blamed of the corruptions that stop all they could enjoy and instead let them to confussion
Yet none can act
All just because they are intimidated
Intimidation
Is what we get after our votes
Intimidation Is what they offer to us
After they get to power
Is like it runs in their blood to always intimidate us
Is like it runs in our blood to accept it and live as cowards
It been happening so long before I came on earth
This intimidation Is so common in
Africa and where Africans are found
World wide
It comes in different ways with different systems
We always fear the unknown
Just for them to always have their ways
Intimidation Is the root of our fears
For we know the truth
We see their lies
Yet their intimidation
Ties us so tight to their trees of
Illussion
Where it fruits are fears
