Streets of Africa

in #poetry6 years ago
  • From the loudest noise of stomach rumblings
    Producing sound like the African drums
    To surviving the heat of each day
    Life feels like the Sahara

  • Money is hard to find for someone like me
    I’m nobody, no one will fight for me
    The stereotypical eye has damaged my reputation
    Down they look on my presentation
  • This mouth of mine shall get fed
    Even if it equals my life end
    I’ll die trying than do without
    Animal like instinct, that’s what I’m about

  • This isn’t the future I foresaw
    But my craving has deprived me of my judgement
    Plus I’m found amongst the wrong company
    I’m so unfit, who shall fix me
  • I can’t afford to go to bed empty bellied
    I woke up this early
    Searching for a prey
    Even if I’ve got to steal, I must eat

  • My victim; a qualified woman
    In traffic, answering a ring
    Without thinking
    I snatched, I ran
  • Out of the woods, came a great host
    I suddenly became a public’s punching bag
    My life flashed before me, I may not see tomorrow
    Thinking of Mamma, I’ve brought her too much sorrow

  • Locked up
    At least I was saved from the civilian army
    And tonight, my belly won’t be empty
    Plus I’ll see tomorrow.
