Living as a beggar of your fortune
Racing for what you owned
Toiling to reach where you were
Learning to walk, when you used to fly:
A couple covered with celebrations
Young and bearing a lot of love
The lady astonishingly beautiful
The beauty that sounds like a temptation
A million dollar bank robbery,
Men and women moving in appreciation
The Meek eyes of the strangers
Past her body in motion, a pardon for sin.
Her lover boy naΓ―ve and broke in the mind
Only feeds from the works of the author.

Plan-less about tomorrow living by moments
For her beauty spoke all languages
Her family and his embrace the gift of looks
You would be so wrong to judge her future
For money bowed for her all times,
More willing to deposit with her.
Just like hunters never knows who hunts them
The day turned to night and the morning
Never came neither did the stars rise.

The journey cut short by a ditch of misery
The bullet that erases the makers’ life
Landing in a plantation with no gardeners
Time gave her a swelling belly
She realized too late to decompose it
Thus the change of her dancing strokes
From a palace of stars to a kennel of darkness
Her world upside down
As life evicted her to dine with flies
She faded like a weathered tree
With smiles rolling down her cheeks in tears
She turned single
In a single world
With a single child
Praying to a single God
Living on a single meal
In a single room
For more than a single year
Crying beyond a single burden
As she regretted the single moment
And that single time
When a single man
Planting a single seed of change.
