Life Has No Formula

I loved her so much, I left her with my mom, son and dad. I promised her so many things Good life, new house, luxury car, Peace, joy and eternal love. I thought to find life in the big city. I found some gold on the street. I ended up in prison. Life was so hard; I came back home. My mom and son were dead ; My wife was married to another man. She was pregnant, I missed what to say, My father was the major cause Of the family destruction He abused my mom to death I cried a lot, no one could wipe my tears. My wife blamed me, No one knew that I spent , Forty eight months in prison. I could not phone or email them, It was a surprise to reach my village alive. People thought that I married a city woman. I became so popular in the village , That was my short way to death. My rival hunted me day and night. The village became like hell, Jealous people threw some witchcraft In my tuck-shop. My legs paralyzed, So wounded, My body smelled terrible. I smelled my death while alive What do people want? Doing well, they hate you. Doing badly, they hate you, Oh God, forgive them Here I am coming to You Take my soul with You Good bye Evil and good people Life has no formula.
