Unfortunate life


As he races against time
He sees these signs
of society that coming to an end
as levels of injustices and poverty ascends
to heights where there can be
no turning back on this track
where rhymes spits at chopped up bars per second
of a 12 year old whose soul been written in heaven.
stitched in there before his time, before mine
while alive, body is rotting but he keeps on smiling,
his heart is barely beating but is will is too strong so he keeps on living
knowing that his mother is not there to protect him
and the father aint around because he lay in a unmarked coffin underground
so in this world that he must face alone
he pays for his father's sins that he brought to this home.
that took just a few moments of aggression with an erection
without any protection
he left this 12 year old while unknown world when unborn
the father's gift to him was to damned and cursed, all in one.
this has no poetic endings just a lifestyle in africa that
men believe in perpatuating,
So I wont be surprised when you go home your thoughts on this fades
because this 12 year old lives in africa born and dying with AIDS.
