Trampled Roses
Perplexed situation of heaven's hatred
Ignored and plundered by pricked pay trend
Afore time we enjoyed cosy tosses
Kissed and molested by noisy roses.
Trapped,ambush and bushed into friendly curse.
We watched ourselves slaughtered for no cause.
Then, all we saw was our dancing toes
Running around as lifeless toes ,oh foes!
We were once cuckolding, hugging and loving
When we'd dive into bed with loved ones longing
Many a time gunshots met our kneels
even brought us to our heels
We watched ourselves travel to the sky
many more, I thank the one above, heaven does not lie
This is once a great city
I mean the greatness no one would pity
I remember those times we danced naked
These bastards watched, mocked,we were by pain led
lived by afflicted bread.
Drank the water derived from the dead
Beaten sores to our stiffened scarred skins
Our bloods,often used in writing disdains like inks
Our once pretty maidens,raped and caped
Their bosoms now face the earth as if ape'd
often,we dived into hot pot of pained laughter
Where we lost our life's,knives and even our daughters
We were foot mats, I mean warm footmats
Romanced by bacteria,malaria and even big rats.
For heaven's sake why?
some of us were taken to new life,lies!!
All I could remember were loud cries
I thank Almighty that I was killed
Thanked,that my skin were like potatoes peeled
imagine hibiscus trample roses
