The Agony of Oppression
I held down my head in obscurity disdain and rejected
I stand alone, alone
Oppression has been my outcry, my cry
Days of merciless labour, injustice has become
my pain, my pain
Days of suffering trigger my thoughts to retreat beneath
As the dread of injustice infiltrate this place, this place
The sting of cruelty penetrates my brain, my brain
And impiety of those who punished with pain remain
unmoved by their callous game
Oppression inflicted is the epitome of evil
Mingled with the smell of death I am afflicted
These shackles of bondage torments my brain
Creating intimidation relentlessly unbearable
I questioned this exploit, why is this my plight
This is not right, this is not right
Why am I denied of my rights, for a fair fight
In spite of the aggravate
It’s not too late to disintegrate these chains
of bondage that was meant to intimidate
