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
