Born into a dark night village Crawl disgustingly around the wood Flame glowing with annoyance Bowed by pained face of cruel looks Swings back, front, sideways No laughter but doom weather Hopelessness after others before Questions abound in grim faces Will this be different or more of the same? Kids run around innocently in frenzy welcome Into their world of despair and pain Laughter for the sake of hopelessness Big brother arrives and name attractive ‘Been to' ‘go bring am hope' the mother wimps Papa and mama wonder about ‘morrow Hopelessness must be conquered No more pain, no more sorrow School three miles in crushing sun ‘Gari' and groundnut in pockets Danger lurking in the corner But the storm inspires for ‘morrow The journey seems long but hope not far When all rewind from the past of yore Triggered by that which was said of old Hope replaces despair and bitter, sweet It wont be long my brother Try hard folk and don't miss the price The pain is deep but the gain is here.

No More Sorrow
Born into a dark night village Crawl disgustingly around the wood Flame glowing with annoyance Bowed by pained face of cruel looks Swings back, front, sideways No laughter but doom weather Hopelessness after others before Questions abound in grim faces Will this be different or more of the same? Kids run around innocently in frenzy welcome Into their world of despair and pain Laughter for the sake of hopelessness Big brother arrives and name attractive ‘Been to' ‘go bring am hope' the mother wimps Papa and mama wonder about ‘morrow Hopelessness must be conquered No more pain, no more sorrow School three miles in crushing sun ‘Gari' and groundnut in pockets Danger lurking in the corner But the storm inspires for ‘morrow The journey seems long but hope not far When all rewind from the past of yore Triggered by that which was said of old Hope replaces despair and bitter, sweet It wont be long my brother Try hard folk and don't miss the price The pain is deep but the gain is here.
