Synthesis;
When the rich enlist Or when you cease to desist,
A kiss or bliss.
Maybe both
A high note,
You scream from the crowd
You're not allowed
To see me like this.
Don't resist;
I told them what to do
I knew, I knew
You would try to get through
To me.
I know our one and two will soon be three;
But baby please,
Make this easy for me.
Your tears crashed to the ground
Like the mortars falling all around
Leaving my brothers never to be found.
Your cries met my ears
Like the waves met the sand
where I stood
Near the slaves to the system
With their rifles that glisten,
Peppering the ground around me.
Then that brave young man charged me with a knife,
I thought of my boy and my wife
Before reflecting upon my own life.
I hesitated.
Because I knew, I knew
He was a son too
There was nothing I could do;
But let this boy run me through,
the choice I made Kept this boy safe.
Like I want mine to be;
Unfortunately;
This is no letter dear,
Its an apology.
