Responsibilities
Responsibilities
like a necklaces
on our necks
is no longer a stranger
like the shoes we wear
is no more new
like the clothes
on our bodies
we always need to
cover our necked ness
of responsibilities
in the world of
work and bills
in a society
with loads of deceit
it never ends
responsibilities
in every third world
countries is
like the clock on the wall
it always a reminder
like a boss it controls
our world
we are trapped in a
deep well of responsibilities
with it sharp objects
of hardship
on it walls
it always cracks our
efforts
it always tear down
our dreams
a very dangerous well
a well full of trials and error
responsibilities
we own a lot responsibilities
on our shoulders
at our feet are a lot circumstances
and our hands are empty
despite our minds are willing
to take what ever it cost
just to survive
yet we got no satisfaction
so we still got to hope
on every tomorrow
in the time when we stand
alone with no support
in the time when we fight
for our survival with out
our leaders help
we got no choose
like a situation of
do or die despite
no adequate provision
of sustainable source of
basic needs in our country
what a hard situation
yet home and abroad
we still keep keeping
up to our
responsibilities
