Just the Way We Are
JUST THE WAY WE ARE
When on Friday morn'
we woke up hastily
children rushed to school
parents rushed to resume work
heavy traffic
hopping from one bus to another
hiked transport fares were hurridly forgotten
and town hall meetings we must attend
classes take backdrops
raindrops mixed with teardrops fell on our cheeks
three years of hard work retracted
who do we tell our silent sobs
wasted midnight candles
burnt whilst we tried to meet new promotion templates
is it a crime to work hard?
is it a crime to remain in the dark continent?
or is it...
just the way we are.
