Outside World

The outer surface is beautiful He comes out good and colourful The followers are not stressful But respectful to have a handful No one understand the inside world, All they see is the outside world He laughs not because he's happy He clubs not because he wants to He has a family not because he has enough He doesn't give not because he's selfish All they see is the outside world He's depressed inside but no one can feel it He goes on vacations but no one knows why The night seems longer but they don't know The money don't just come All they see is the outside Birds of a feather he became He praised and talk good of leaders Not because he wants to His home is not in the sky Arm forces only obey one order All they see is the outside world. ©Kporho Raphael Oyeke
