Essence

WE THE ESSENCE WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN THE FUTURE’S PRESENCE IN LIFE WE ARE GIVEN A CHANCE BUT NOT A CHANCE TO CHOOSE ON HOW WE WALK A IN OUR OWN SHOES I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO BE ME SO WHAT IS THE USE IM GOD GIVEN BUT ABUSED BEING EXPOSED TO LIES AND TRUTH ENDING UP IN ME LOOSING MY YOUTH TO THINK I WAS UNDER YOUR OWN WING ENDING UP IN ME NOT A BEING BUT JUST A THING RISING IN GROWTH AND LIFE BEGS THE QUESTION WAS I PLANNED OR AM I SOMTETHING ELSE? BECAUSE IM YOUR CHILD, NOT YOUR FUTURE WEALTH THE PURITY OF MY FLAME, IS SLOWLY REDUSED BY YOUR OVER POWERING ANGER PLEASE! DO ME A FAVOR OF LOVING ME EVEN IF I WRONGED YOU I DON’T UNERSTAND WHY PAIN MEAN LOVE HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT WHEN WHAT YOU IS WRONG IM SURROUND BY YOU YET YOU THINK I WONT BECOME LIKE YOU IM A SPONGE OF LIFE TAKING IN EVERYTHING FROM MY SOCIETY WHAT YOU DON’T WANT ME TO SEE ILL SEE BECAUSE YOU SAW IT WHAT YOU DON’T WANT ME TO HEAR ILL HEAR BECAUSE YOU HEARD IT AND WHAT YOU DON’T ME TO KNOW I’LL KNOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT Co-written with Sabelo Phiri
