People could still travel without legs They could try and reach destinations overboard hills But the mirage of the journey mars adventures Just as my message to the gods arrived without words I managed the ego of my heritage Prompted my managers for advice in adversity Slow in movement when counting missing numbers Never were things a part of the discovery of our youth Woke up to the realities of the times so apt Mothers lay across streets without 'jubilees' Questions of times repeated within blowing minds Kind thought of realities which travelled our paths through summer Time truly changed with our kind intervention People laughed simply with fewer impressions Wonders refused to end in our kind generational attributes Abandonment threw up traditional rhymes As hopes and aspirations moved up those mountains Dashed with the carpenter’s stool We refused to stand around the corner without voice We acknowledged the sound of our solid ignorance Only to be unleashed to the veritable land of the unknown We opposed opposition from adults with shrinking faces Infamous babies rose without standard bottoms As unclear massages became famous from the unpopularities We shrinked at those conflict We danced at our new peace We embraced the nature of burdened breasts And quickly asked in emergency to declare solidarity, forever. « return. |
