By Stephanie Mbachu:
Pain in light
Waking up everyday
Ought to be a miracle
Yet it’s not
I be living in a mirage
The struggles
Heal my soul from crumbles
The meat on my table I wouldn’t get without tears , pain torments and struggle
The color of my hair
A replication of my hustle
Every time I stumble
I be counting my blessings as though double
Pain in light
The story not cleared
Simply undefined
My light definitely will shine
That’s fact one can’t deny
Upon life’s shuttle
Will I paddle
Until my light shine bright
I won’t settle
Then I be turning my pain to light
Extremely wonderful…. Pure description of life of an average man in Nigeria and Africa.
