I knew a man Born a messiah to his people He had a dream A dream of greatness A dream to usher in bright light of hope Into dark night of stagnation n poverty He had a dream A dream that could transform their cosmic elegy into glorious psalm of brotherhood. I knew a man Who destiny had favored to accomplish his dream He was determined to execute his plans to the end But he was alone in his thought. His decision was contrary to their opinion So they gave him pepper when he needed salt When he ask for reason, they gave him sword to put on his people neck. He invoked a transforming agenda They converted it to a comic show. I knew a man Whose friends, brought his dream to ruin A man whom situation threatens his dream And today only slight different exist between him n his fellows They now wine and dine with corruption. Leaving the people he was meant to deliver On filthy rag of poverty. I knew a man Who God will judge one day A man whose instructors n mentors Shall face justice someday And the people shall trample upon them and their works that day. wet ur appetite @ www.devimcy. n leave a line for me
