Pray one day someone with good ears Tells me I heard your poem from upstairs I pray the way my life is sinking would stop Pray that writing will help me get to the top I pray that war will not come my way again Pray that peace stays by my side Amen I pray that slavery won’t keep me in this jail Pray that freedom pays my expensive bail I pray that Mother Nature brings less storming Pray that humans understand global warming I pray that the land I own grows fertile fruits Pray that it will develop strong healthy roots I pray that god finds us a solution that’s sacred Pray that it feeds the poor and starves hatred I pray that our women will have high standards Pray that inequalities in gender will be surrendered I pray that Africa find economic salvation Pray leaders stop steeling from my nation God I pray Day and day With no delay « return. |
