Sweat To Starvation

They told me to work hard
If I was to make it
And yet they wanted to bleed me off my labour

They told me, "if you work for us"
They were to give me everything
I ever desired
And yet all they cared about was my sweat in their bellies

When I tried to stand up for myself
They pounced on me with their powers
Leaving me in fear and depression
For murder they promised

So I sweat for them to grow bigger
While my family languishes in poverty
Starvation being my everyday cue

They claim to be my heroes
Yet they enslave me
With their shackles of greediness
Killing my generation's future
For the sake of their own benefit
Incarnating my dreams in their bubble of corruption

Was it the cost of freedom?
They claim to have given me
How was I to live?
When hell is what they awarded me

  1. Great stuff Taka. That's typical of mostly earthly men's mentality.

    Just execive show-off for nothing, aimed at gaining worldly mileage for the sake of greedness and selfishness seems to be today's shameless myopic stance of
    people still languishing in total darkness.

    Hard-heartedness coupled with immoraity is their daily bread.

    What a shame!!!
