That's the way it is
Desmond 2092 (Nyazura)
lord what did l do that makes my life to be hard like this... l try to look back at how my ancestors were living their life and it is a misery. confusion from cultural, religion, norms and being oppressed by other races but will there be a change to the innocent blood like me. if this is the way of life pain in spirit and soul l won't forever cry l miss the rest of the heart lord give power it has burdened me l've surrendered, l've tucked my tail and myself. in spirit and truth l've given my back. it doesn't matter not all wishes will come true that's how life goes
