Letter To the Stars

This life of toil and sweat breaks my body
The thought of having to sustain pain anguishes my heart 
Looking for love in the wrong place shows that am lost
When will the day come? Have to be hopeful
Atleast I know that I still have to fulfill my destiny 
The distance I cover with my friends are short
Yet the distance between me and my star are light years
Don't let the burden break my backbone 
We've got a headteacher running away from the media
They told me corruption can be conquered 
Yet it's changing her color as a chameleon 
As I close my eyes hope this message would be delivered 

Each day is a blessing and a curse at the same time 
Life is taken and another is given to the Earth 
Is this how Mother nature maintains  existence? 
It's a pity that all animals are honest except for human beings
Looking to live above the dollar yet I can't get the dola at the end of the day
They say beauty before age yet the money comes first 
Close your eyes as things get harder and make a wish to your star
When you feel your at the dark end., look up and you'll the stars
They blink towards you to give you hope to make it through the night
