Who Made You a Judge

/'d???g?l/ /'d??s.t?s/ That was what my dictionary woke up to show me this morning, Who made you one of this angels? One is called /'d???g?l/ jungle and the other is called /'d??s.t?s/ justice like a league of legend ants feasting on a lonely trapped Carcass and Vargas. Who made you a judge over criminals? Light opens... Our stories are gory to the ear, If I decide to write them now I fear my sight will become blurry with tinted tears of mourning. Mount your camera on a tripod, Double your steps and hands We have a story to make to the world. Yells of vengeance has torn my belly! Light fades... Yesterday, The first sight I beheld in the morning Was a boy trying to free himself from Gullible mobs in the street of Lagos. Tears flooded his eyes as he pleaded, His name became a political lyrics, Lyrically, he was branded with metals; Metals that took away his miserable life. Light fades... His body became a shadow finding home, running, walking and jumping. He burnt into ashes as they lynched him The petrol broke apart and tyre belched Another soul roamed among the living Inviting the eclipse sun in the noon. His beauty washed away by the restless grief that held his bones together to bind Light fades... Capture the ghost of that girl running! She was knocked down this morning by a drunk driver finding ways to die Capture her spirit and let's edit them all The mobs Wont see how she died but they will linger to kill without thinking, Who made them a judge by the way? Remember, don't leave the ghost tears. Light fades... Now, follow that soul seated there? She was one of the victims of Evan. Have you seen her tears turned red? Cut away of her legs must be filmed, Clean up her face with your focus! We're like the castaway treated like a plague, the house whose door has been stolen and we never knew until now! Light fades... What is your time? we have Chelsea march by ten & this deads may find home in the air for the living to see how Arsenal will be defeated in stampford to night Tilt the camera up & see God' eyes He watches from above about this And he spoke not of it, then, who made us a judge over all this crimes?
