Read My Mind
If you could read my mind
Kindly give me a helping hand
For I have lost the power of speech
But I beseech of you my friend
Do not take advantage of my situation
To unleash mental terror on a soul
Already brutalised to submission
Please do not read my mind wrongly
If you could read my mind
You would see that my heart is bleeding
From anger and frustration
Choking the very life out of me
If you could read my mind
You would see shame and frustration
Tearing my heart apart
As my father land has lost all decency
Preferring to celebrate lies and larceny
