PURPOSE
Khama Gangire Jr 1993 (Blantyre)
My purpose on earth unknown
My identity to humans is not known
My plans cant be declared on a phone
I wonder why are they fighting like a bull with no horn
So who should I ask why was I born
Am cleaving when will the way be shown
Why was this seed on earth sown
What a game I cant be a pawn♟
Why rage is too much I need water
Cant design maybe am not a porter
The fire inside is too much its getting hotter
Am digging deeper till i find whats underwater
Sometimes I feel great for I was told my Father is God
Yet I wonder why women call a Man a dog
Cant impress the youth maybe when they are old
Should i wait for rapture or disappear in a fog
