Worng Trust

One wrong trust
With dagger, my heart got thrust
I died not, but got lost
Become a living ghost

Lost in trust
Enemy playing friend
Banana cloth tossed on my destiny
Wanting my demotion to trend 

Infected me with a flue
Then rifled me to the blue
Birded away with no clue
With nothing than the left shoe

Took refuge at the mountains 
Mountains with healing fountains
Rinsed me to rebirth
Applied my mechanism with gracious grease

Came to mind a song by KSA

" Appreciation modúpé
Oníbú ore, bàbá gb'opé mi"
