Star gazing

Slavenmasta 1990 (Ganyesa)



Astrology taught me to be a Star
My mythology deceives ignorant minds
Through my up's and downs I stride with immortal smirk
The odour of success blocked my beak

Patience remains a vague till time begins to speak
I put my faith upon the soil
 for the food we ought to reap
The abundance of the universe overflows through silent streams
Only my third eye can see
Blessed is the God in me
