BROKEN
Who taught the heart to deviate its responsibility of blood pumping?
To the "ajayi" of love giving.
Who will mend the broken pieces?
I have sold my peace
maybe home will, since outsiders can't.
I run home with my broken soul,
maybe she will help mend it,
"family is everything" right?
damn right! but they have turn their backs on me,
Pointing (accusing) fingers that should have hold me.
My surest hope has taken my breath.
Maybe the government will help.
Government indeed, they have even abandoned "my stomach infrastructure"
Who will fail your stomach and care about your heart?
They have paid deaf ear to the "crisis in our middle belt"
What a nation will stand breaking it's itself?
She has broken my body and increase my yoke.
Life is "fool" of ups and downs, master ur emotions.
People won't always understand ur plight, overcome the frustration.
The government will shun their duties, withstand the delusion.
In all your doings, be your own motivation.
Broken, yet bettered.
