UntliledA Poem by Ayanda MtetoWhat is wrong with the world, is what is wrong with people in it.I
can’t help hating on you, you’re still living While
my mind is dying, tired of trying, violent culture Crazies’
living it easy, while I’m working it with no profit I
don’t have a vision, I’m
no prophet, food of the nation I aren’t having it Corruption
in the government, I aren’t getting the harvesting Though
I laboured the fruits I
aren’t getting any, not a dime for my belly growling in hunger No
money for the kids, broken system made me a useless father Still
the same tears falling on my mother She
watches her son slowly dying I’m
just a victim to the circumstance No
offers, no chance “They tell me to get rich or die trying” I
aren’t getting rich so I guess I’m dying, of poverty and pain Retrenched
from the office to work the house Up
and down, trapped in my home, no peace I aren’t getting any sleep Restless
nights trapped in the dark, they cut the power I
aren’t paying any bills, saved the last dime to put food on the table I find solace in the bible Words from the lord, I
try to forget the words of the pastor preaching a lie Involved with his
brethren’s wife Hiding behind the word
of god, the self -righteous holiness Employing the crocked system of
the Vatican Controlling
the government with power they have over the masses You
can’t challenge their new testament they call it god They
will crucify you like Jesus; they had to kill him to honour him as son of god Stole
his principle so Constantine can promote his lies Retain
the order of their gods; they were losing the battle to the one god The
father of creation written stories in your mind, the revelation Of
your true identity Not
the green-book the apartheid era of false ID you carry your freedom Serving
the government system empowering the rich stealing from the poor Chucked
aback living in cold street you call them thugs, That
is why you not embracing them with hung Left
them to hug, For
an insurance pay-out you profit on dead, that is why you bought a hearse You call it a limousine,
it long a stretched vehicle all the same. © 2012 Ayanda MtetoAuthor's Note
