The black man's life

The black man's life

The life of a black man is sometimes like the ground

Were problems come in stapid 

And sometimes no hope us found,

It is characterized by tears and pity

Diseases giving each other the chance of duty

Leaving no one even the pious 

The streets filled with chaos ,

Blame given on the leader

Just because he is the feeder

Everyone trying to climb the ladder

Yet change not not happening on the poverty radder

It is sometimes watered 

And green life appears

The flowers blooming and trees swaving and swaying ,

In total joy and praise 

Smiles and laughter for the people

The face glowing and glittering

In the streets and kombis little or no murmuring

More kids produced being the wealth of the country

This life no balance 

Leaving you without a chance 

Not even the power to have a glance,

On tomorrow's plans.
