Too many whys Running through my mind Like why o why Do we live our life Searching for things that never wanted to be found Why do we shy.... away from our real purpose in this life Why oh why do our Politicians lie Telling us things will be fine beguiling us with few cups of rice Acting like we the people blind How oh how, do they expect us to thrive When the only thing they subsidised.... is our faces filled with joyful smiles Why do they connive to bring sufferings to our lives with the politicking vice they devise Why do fathers die Living their kids orphaned Where are the real mothers and Wives When wishy-washy women keep tiktoking their pride. Why wont our elders understand That the life we in now is different from the past Why oh why Is it so hard to find Someone to keep close to our heart When all they do is t mess up our mind Oh why Oh why Do our youth put on guise guise of lies' just because they want to survive Why do our boys sell their soul all for that luxury life. why do our girls dress bare; to impress and advertise. Why do our clerics keep weponising our mind Building partition in the name of the most high Why do those terrorist thinks they're doing it right When clearly tis not jihad Why oh why Won't God listen to our doleful cries Forgive our past; filled with sins and crimes Guide our leaders right.... and liberate us from the powers that victimise our lives.

Why oh why
