I HAVE EYES BUT AM BLIND
SO MUCH HAPPENS IN FRONT
THEM BUT I JUST TURN A BLIND
EYE
PAIN HAS BEEN CAUSED THROUGH MY BLIND EYES
I CAN SEE YET I AM BLIND
WHAT I SEE IS NOT ALWAYS
WHAT I TELL
LIVES ARE LOST AND HAVE BEEN LOST CAUSE OF MY BLIND EYES
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AS I CAN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO SEE
IS IT BECAUSE OF MY IGNORANCE THAT I HAVE A BLIND EYE
I WISH TO SEE BUT NOT WITH
MY EYES BUT WITH MY HEART
TO DO THE RIGHT THING

Found in your homeland
Your skin colour made you
less human.
You were seen as an animal
before anything else
Hate was declared against you
for you are black
Stripped off of your own identity
and  enslaved
Your dignity lost before your eyes
Shamed for your skin colour
Your welcoming heart betrayed you and turned you a slave
Freedom is a state of mind for reality it's a myth
Black man you will never know freedom for it is a privilege
Your human state will be questioned in different ways

IT CARRIES ALL MY WORRIES
AND STRESS
IT CAN BE HAPPY AND OVERJOYED AT TIMES AND YET
BE DECEITFUL TO THE PAIN IT CARRIES
IT IS THE HEAVIEST THING IN THIS WORLD
NO MAN CAN LIFT
FILLED WITH DISAPPOINTMENT
IT KNOWS LITTLE HAPPINESS
FOR AS LONG I BREATHE I WILL
FOREVER  KNOW PAIN AND
SUFFERING IN THIS WORLD
IT'S WEIGHT OUTWEIGHS EVERYTHING YET I CARRY THIS WEIGHT ON MY CHEST

THE COMING OF TIME DEPICTS
ONE'S LIFE
THE AGING OF MAN KIND
SEAMLESSLY PASSES BY
IN A WINK OF AN EYE
MEMORIES ARE ALL THAT WE
HAVE OF THE  GOLDEN TIMES
TIME'S WHERE WE WERE CAREFREE AND TIME SEEMED TO HAVE STOPPED MOVING
NOTHING WENT WRONG
BUT NOW AS WE COME OF AGE IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE SEE
LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY
FOR OUR GOLDEN AGE HAS PASSED AND A NEW AGE AS IT DAWN TIME

Many have lost their lives
Cause of you
Children are orphans and
mothers have lost sons and
daughters cause of you
Many wives are widows cause of your presence
Havoc and destruction is the order of the day in your presence
You strike fear to people of all ages and race
Young and old crumble and shatter
Dreams are lost in the mist of you
Anything in your path is being destroyed by you
The trail of your existence is  broken hopes and helpless souls that wonder around
You are terrible than a virus  that eats one's flesh
For have conquered many men and women you continue to destroy the lives of the next generation
