A cry for Help

The soul is serious searching for hope. The future seems dark when the rulers are still oppressing the next generation.

If only I where a prophet
Things would have been
Better for me
For I know not what
The future holds for me
Judging from what
I am seeing today.

For they said to me
You are the leader of tomorrow
But they are still
Leading the leader of tomorrow.

Now I am grown
But they are old
They still tell me
Child one day you will lead this nation.

I said no
This hypocrisy must stop
For the test of maturity
Is the test of responsibility.

They said no
The test of maturity
Is your ability to remain a child.

So I said no again
But this time
It was from a different location
For I was locked in prison
For fighting for my rights.
