"Upgrade Me"

Sugar laced water quenching a thirst
Recycled clothing not even knowing
Daily cries being extended since birth
As this impregnated pain keeps growing.

Stop please…

An indecent ideology proposed
Caught in a crossfire of deception
Complaints about the love never showed
Not conforming to this form of segregation.

Not me..

Memories of melancholy written
Pondering if a dream could prevail
Education attained to make a difference
While followers clutch onto coattails.

Hold on…

Promises kept as the successor
Mended migraines during migration
Blocks of cheese tasting a lil better
Fulfilling this prophecy was never a question.

Told u..

Reciting an obituary titled “poverty stricken”
Smirks about this salvation for sanity
Praying that a new generation can listen
So titanic thoughts won’t be repeating history.

Gone but not 4gotten..!!
