You came with promises, You came with a hype
You came with a hope,You brought a vibe
All was well until you lost yourself
You performed the very dance that you regarded indecent
How I wish you check your heart,
Check your life,check your style
The very people you hurt are the ones you want
Down the road, its so sad,
That the love we had will soon turn into wrath.
From Infernos unexplained to land always swayed,
To brutality, lack of respect,I am dismayed
The lack of accountability and arrogance at its best
What better way to **** our motivation
As the wise man said, “There’s a time for everything,
I say there’s an end to anything,
It’s not my place to complain or to curse
But its my right to pray and to traverse
Through the transformations that shall soon appear
And to the hope and values that as a patriot I so hold dear.
Never forget where you came from
Never despise your humble beginning
For as you hold on due to your extreme fears
Yet the people down are in blood and tears
You shall bathe in the same in the future near.
