The Ghost
Silence, silence, silence
Loud silence,
Woke me up from my common sleep
Dragged me far from my deep dream
Silence roars over the room
Silent loud voices screaming in my heard
I am uncomfortable and not at peace in my own bed
Plates shuffling in the kitchen
Got no pen nor a chicken
Fear of the unknown wins my soul
Beer and alcohol got me in sores
Dark images play tricks in my mind
All I see now, is my body being laid to rest
I am uncertain of my next breath
Uncertain of my family’s grief
Uncertain of life or death
And my spirit is gradually giving up on me
All my ancestors chanting and waiting for me across the see
Spare me a chance to say goodbye
Or sing lullaby
To the kids I never will have
