Your Right Or Your Doom

Your right or your Doom 

Are we meant to be 
Treated this way 

Just to survive is now 
A war 

Gradually our hopes 
Are turning hopeless

Our jobs are slowing dying
If not dead 

They all blame the virus 

While the rich get richer 

The poor slowly dies 
In a depression they never cursed

It a deep world isn't it 

If not 
is not funny 
Any more 

To see how the world dies 
Right in front of our view 

And we remain helpless
Even when we got a chance 
Of change in Africa and beyond
