Changes
Stephen jnr Zaba 2004 (Bindura)
**The merciless echoes of the dead roam in your mind
Your fraudulent thoughts of wanting all to yourself cripple you at times
The dark nurture of the modern day life leads you to changing the course of destiny
you just stick to your evil plans
That scenario of saying you are always right
You don't have time to share your feelings inside
No matter how hard they tangle you to the ground
you always have to stand your ground
Losing your closed ones , the fire of revenge spread like wild fire ambushing every thought of mercy
regaining the conscious of destroying those who seem not to support rather suppress your plans
That dark feeling is inhumane don't you agree
Sometimes you have to set those emotions free
It takes only a little affection to find peace
You know that this will put your mother at ease
Someone is hoping you change as we speak
But only a little self respect can build only a little self esteem
Don't do injustice to your brain please
Let it out and set yourself free*
