Man's Voice Poem by GALEED MAGAGULA

3 am drowning in tears of sorrow
Looking at tomorrow but there is no arrow
Sometimes wondering if living
Is worth a damn thing
Trying to take words, yet none comes out
If life is a game for other, well am out
Am out of courage to hope for better
Still lost in living and dying which is better
I still wonder, do man have a voice?

This is a man's world, well they say
If then, even we man don't have say
As we sit and watch our kids given
To another cause they have money
What about the ones given
Cells cause they didn't have money
To give them after making love
We lost and can't see a prostitute
From the woman we claim to love
My word is nothing and hers is absolute
Do man really have a voice?
It's true woman die in the hands of scums
But what about man that dies in women's
Hand but police record it as self defense.
When is the right time for man to defend,
If we do we are jail, we are without defense
This shit makes no sense at all
Am writing this, knowing is waste of inck
Cause we very well it's not gonna stick
They scream louder but we die harder that all.
