IGNORANCE REWARDED


A chase for a new life swallows our pride 

Nothing looks perfect in the eyes of the beholder

Nothing seems vivide for a ride

Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,

Why do we fight wrong battles,

The truth seems false than the lies mistaken to be perfect,

The governments are corrupt the politicians trick us

The elements of prosperity lie  in the wrong hands,

When there  is more than just minds to use to take 'em' down,

With a single vision we can take down our stray,

We can rise we can fight,

Our young ones show much faith in us than we do in our own ability, skill, talent and technic, we lack the faith to aim to shoot to take down our prey from afar,

No one in this town Seems bold enough to fight  like a lioness is-

when protecting her young ones. 

Yet we sit down and watch,

wisdom is Screwed ignorance rewarded,

Our enemy uses our guns to bring us down,

The devil is using our destinies to take us back to dust, 

Our employment no longer belongs to us-

 it is hay that belongs to us- 

nowadays every day seems like a new failure pounces onto our progress,

Pain and anguish rule our days 

Why suffer why enjoy the pain when we can take down our enemy from afar.

Peace ..
