Forgive Me Lord. Poem by DEDAN ONYANGO

FORGIVE ME LORD

Forgive me Lord for what I'm about to confess
Where everyone seem to be lacking consciousness,
Allow me to speak my mind out of this distress.
Forgive me Lord for I don't want to build a fortress
In a society where being normal is considered abnormal.
Forgive me Lord for speaking my mind
In a society where the bourgeoisie suppresses the proletariat
Where one who steals is considered one of a kind.
Forgive me Lord for condemning the chosen ones
Who are so keen into milking the public coffers;
Yet the pauper is confused with empty puns.
On my knees I bring forth my heart which suffers,
For it's in your powers that you will forgive my generation
And by the end of it all these sins, we will rebuild this Nation.
