Nowhere To Go
NOWHERE TO GO
By: Sikolwethu Mthethwa
Where do the sinners go
Where do the ones without a shred of hope left go
Where do the slighted go
Where do the confused youths go
Where do the heavily burdened go
Nowhere
All of them stay here
The sinners roam the Earth till death
The hopeless hopelessly search for hope until they lose hope of finding hope
The slighted fall in between the cracks in Lady Justice's hands never to see her in action for them
The confused youths tirelessly search for a sense of direction
Exposed to deception all in the name of finding a place to belong
The heavily burneded soldier on with their burdens on their withering backs
They wear their troubles as if they were slacks
All the while the world revolves on its axis
Each person at war with something
So there really isn't time to stop and ask what makes the next man cry
And you can't change that, I dare you to try.
