This Life
This
life
is
Killing
me,
I
hope
it
burries
me
soon.
I
cannot
surrender,
like
a
weary
soldier
in
a
platoon.
Carry
the
moon,
that
is
your
burden
forever,but
you'll
want
to
cast
it
away
like
a
demon
very
soon.
Troubles
are
big,
like
the
giant
winds
of
Southern
Asia,
on
top
of
your
head
they
continuously
monsoon.
Guns
blazing,
echoing
the
troubled
screams
of
our
sisters,
getting
destroyed
by
South
Africa's
loved
tune.
Rastafarians
getting
restricted
from
touching
ganja
by
"Babylon",
because
jail
cells
might
be
prescription.
And
need
I
mention
the
hungry
suffering
on
the
Freestate
streets,
that
get
mocked
daily
by
every
passerby.
The
thing
of
government
job
creation
is
a
yearly
lullaby.
Satanism
fills
the
township
streets
at
night
like
police
brutality
by
day.
We
cannot
break
bread
with
the
wealthy
man
because
unemployment
systems
program
our
minds
anyway.
Should
we
just
throw
in
the
towel
like
Pontius
Pilate,
or
hang
ourselves
like
Judas
Iscariot
when
we
see
the
chariot
of
hunger
behind
governmental
color
blinds.
Or
should
we
march
onwards
like
an
honest
troop
of
Spartans,
fighting
for
our
conscious
righteousness?
Rebelling
against
such
poetic
mastery
is
like
throwing
yourself
off
the
balconies
of
life
to
show
your
state
of
worthlessness.
I'm
just
mentioning
this.
Because
killing
yourself
after
raping
your
little
daughter
is
not
a
feeling
of
hopelessness.
Churches
taught
you
how
to
fear
man
better
than
God,but
never
taught
of
the
awesome
powers
you
possess.
Jah
Bless.
