HUMANITY
LoOK Look close and see the scars,
Zoom to see what Life has caused,
My beautiful smooth skin.
Look, beyond your sight and feel
What humanity has done to my flesh,
A bit of up and downs and the hustles,
The hate, betrayals and gossip.
Only my beloved mother knows
How beautiful I was, when I was fresh
Now Look...
Look at the stains
Come and Look at the pain
Barely can I identify myself
I am Lost in the smokes
From the fire they set in the coast
The trades, the transactions, the flames
I would have burn into coals, serve as fuel for their trains
Yes, yet I survived
But now my brain is cooked
So my people don't need to blame me
Because humanity has taught us
To sometimes be a fool and you are welcome
Please humbly join me so we can fool
Fool and Later be cool
Settle down for some chill beers
And Later jump in the pool with some round girls
Later we continue
eating the chicken thighs and the wine
OMG Life is sweet
But I jumped in and nearly drown
Oh my African men
I have to save myself
Look, Look at humans
Aren't they beautiful enough to stay clean?
what happened to the HUMANITY?
