Me Too
Martin left long ago
all hoped say Luther will come
but all these ills
proves there isn't any Elisha
or say mantle never fell
oh no not in this part of the world
if ever it did
oh! not a portion, nor a double
the labour of our heroes past
had for long been in vain
because the had no apprentice
they never wanted any?
or non was willing to let go
and even me
am not an exception
though I have my perception
hear it
I have your attention
bear it
i love nelson
surnamed Mandela
his bio of bravery
told a dozen times
only shake heads
but not hearts
still blame no one
cus shackles
aren't the same these days
we care not the josephs
afraid to dream big
from prison to palace?
these new Pharaohs
would never share their office
bulls everywhere
kings of the ring
fools here and there
they have died a thousand times
because the fear
to take the bull by the horn
though am not excluded
still am not deluded
I only don't have heart to fight
but hands to write
