Between determination and destiny,
Is a land where men claim no ownership,
If you desired whatever leadership,
You'd take it, bleed, then mark it with impunity.

Taken away,
Without delay,
See today,
Tomorrow okay.

There are moments of clarity,
Between darkened confusion,
Times that require controlled emotions,
Betwixt blind fury and calm maturity.

They took her place of comfort,
And gave her something to worry about,
The gods failed her without second thought,
And all she could do was let out a silent shout.

The more he talked about it,
The angrier he became,
His own dear man? His own seat?!
Truly nothing power and money cannot tame.

No four wheels this week,
So sweety and I jumped bikes,
Never seen her ever so pumped,
Eyes wide, skipping ahead, no qualms.

When dad breathed his last,
Was about to have my first,
Sweety came seven months after,
Mother joined him five years later.

We'd wake up at dawn to clear the gutter,
It became a daily routine and then a lifestyle,
The soldier that decreed this didn't live long enough,
To see the seeds he planted grow into clean trees.

Out of the water,
And into the gutter,
From ambient comfort,
To daily abatement of some sort.

Forty-eight wages of slavery,
A weaponising of impoverishment,
Labour clucking like a duck,
Their paymasters twanging over their shmuck.
