I Had !
Smoked out of the hole,
it tried to escape the painful death
The hunt for a bush rat for meal their bellies rumble !

Catch it !
Kill it, kill it !
don't let it run into the bushes !
I wondered how life will be if animals can also defend themselves with guns !

Blinded like a bat,
soaring in the afternoon skies,
He was made to believe the world is beautiful place,
a fluffy bed of colourful flowers

He was made to believe that the world is a prefect place of no pain
He was made to believe that the society seeks nothing from you accept hard work,

I Had all !
He exclaimed in front of the night club with a bottle of whisky in his hand as the cool breeze of the night swayed him left to right.

Falsehood,
as they those who cheered him up once laugh at him now.
I remember the names they use to call him, " Boss one, Chairman, Director, Honourable"
He was blinded by this dusty words as they demanded money and gifts from him,

As his eye glowed red, He exclaimed !!!

Oh!
The world Envied wealth,

Oh!
never did I know society was jealous of my wellbeing and my hardwork,

Oh!
I remember when my family hails praises at me when I drove by with luxuries.

Oh!
Now i am a friend to liquor, where are the dozen friends I made with fame? as we sat around the table at "Lizzy's Pub" ?

Oh!
Never did I know that all they wanted was the fun and money not friendship.

Now he is a shame to the society the once cheered me,
A scavenger of the street,
An orphan with no home,

Now he enjoys the lullaby of car horns and the sweeping sounds of drive by vehicles
as mother nature cast him to rest on his black bed as the street light stared down at him.

NB
Life frustrate those who allow themselves to be frustrated. Everyone one wants something in life, therefore concentrate on yourself first, for no man will love you more than yourself.
Even you biological parent will at a point in life will say something ill about you.
Don't be stingy, just be wish and focused.
