The Jigger In My Toe



It keeps on disturbing
 Boring deep into my toe
 It keeps on humiliating
  Tilling my toe like a hoe
 I keep on scratching
 Unable to put on my shoe
 This jigger in my toe
  The tormentor of my life   

  Try as I can to see  
This tormentor of my life
 Am unable to see
  For he cuts me like a  knife
 Am bent to the knee  
Pleading for my life
 This jigger in my toe
The tormentor of my life    

 He hides so deep
  To give me a sleepless night
  He makes me like a child to weep
  Till night changes to light
He cannot even come out to peep  Due to the cry of my plight  
This jigger in my toe
 The tormentor of my life    

 Am tired.am fed up  
With this tormentor of my life
 HE HAS EATEN ME UP
 Till my  body has no life
 I have decided to pluck you up  
And out of you squeeze your tiny life  
 This jigger in my toe
  The tormentor of my life     

I shall wipe my tears  
And fly like a butterfly
 Fly to higher heights
  And no longer tears shall I cry
  Till I succeed in life
  And be glory to my community
The jigger in my toe  Will be history in my
