Only God Knows

Only God knows
They like when I bleed 
Cos they never love to see 
The sons of men blessed
Despite my kindness 
Despite my love 
My world is not empty with out enemies
They claim to  be ones I need 
Yet they  offer me life in the hard way 
Who is truly your friend
Cos in the time of pains 
In times I need help 
Will you be there 
I always wander alone in my grieves
Cos men also gossip this days 
They smile right to my face 
But stain my dignity behind my back 
They hail me in my presence
Yet call me a fool in my absence 
Who is my true friend in this world
Only God knows 


Only God knows 
My son be careful out there 
Be sure who you call your friends
Dont let them know your real weakness
Cos people are dangerous nowadays 
Our reality are nothing good this days 
Alot are in a desperate situation
And they can do anything evil to prevail
So son be sensitive on your ways 
Be sure who you chose as a friend
If they are of no good please stay alone 
Be strong for yourself
Be the one for the one you wish to be 
Cos there is no more joy on the street 
There is no more love in their heart 
So I ask who is truly a good friend 
In the times of hardship
Only God knows

This poem conveys pain. It appears that Africa has the same problems as we do here. I send wishes for good changes.
