In the mammoth crowd I stand waiting for my voice to be heard
For my face to be seen, and my struggle be adjudged Sitting in the shallow current of a dreaded sea Bewitched by my flare for justice ans equity How would I posit my point, What would be my reference, Who would be my umpire As all man have eaten from the fruit of Adam forbidden for all by the most high God I am not really taken seriously as they all call me a clown I am in the center of all seeking for the best life for my society In the mammoth crowd I wail for the world to hear my plea,feel my agony For all to see our suffering and not just call us a liar lying to seek for attention Lying to seek for favor. We are hunted down by sheer stupidity and ignorance they placed us into. How do I convince the globe to hear my yearning in the midst of multitude crowd How I wish I was taught by the Avicenna,Archimedes and Alchemy of this world Probably o won't be in this situation of shattered faith and dreams In the mammoth crowd I speaks to the princes and princesses to hear their people and take home as a message to their parental nobles to, Hear of their social ill Hear of their economic vices Hear of their lack of home and shelter Hear of their illiteracy caused by their noble parent that govern them all. © 2016 Sulaimon Quadri |
