How I feel
My Lamentation
I have been reaching out for change
My days have never been the same. And I have been reaching out for change. I have been calling out her name. Hoping that somehow she hears me and comes to my aid.
I have been feeling sore and a little jaded. Can I please have a little bit of shade; and maybe a little bit of grace, too. Cos it is 30 degrees out here, and I’m getting sunburned. It getting hard to stand. Upend is every structure that was put in place to help us stand.
The corrupt politician, making incision into the system. How he turns to the people and smile, but he turns around to subvert the very same things that he has helped planned. And this sin he commits with a big grin on his face, with no shame, the only thing that he sees is how much he can skimp
But it is ignorance. At least that what I think. Ignorance seems to run wild, just seeing how we the people rant and rail and yet our actions have always remained the same. Seemingly marching, but still standing. The irony, how hard-working a people we are but yet still our pockets remain the same, unchanged, flat, so close this fabric is to our skin.
It saddens my heart on my commute to work sometimes, just sitting in traffic, peering through the cracked glass window, with the now so familiar squeaks and cracks from the engine of the car as it violently struggles to take us to our destination.
The young girl who should have been in school, but now on the streets, tactfully maneuvering between cars and lanes hoping to make some ends meet.
Meet young Kojo who had good prospect in live, who had a fancy dream of one day becoming a doctor. But all of his dreams shattered because mom and dad passed away in a road accident. An awful incident that should not have happened if the person tasked with safety on our roads have done his due diligence in his line of work.
