Voice of Wretchedness

First read at Radio Univers, university of Ghana.

I cast my lame eyes
On thw dark shadow that follow me
I dream if i may go without it
And slowly i picture my rise
My life is an island
And steadily i'm been eaten by sea
My toil is manifold like the sand
Abundant, worthless and stranded
A distressed soul that i am
I pray i eat my sin
Lynch myself and purge my soul
I'm scared and tired
Of the dirty grimaces of life
What people say i care no more
They say such is life
But why is life such?
The winding unwinding intertwining
Street of life. Short paths to filthy gold
And if it's like this
How things are i don't know
May be you will tell me.
