By Josephat Msagha
The atmosphere dark colored
Stars twinkling ushering dusk
Through the cell window gazed,
The moon glowing in the sky
On the floor thinking about my life
Just a wrong decision that turned fatal
Was caught at the wrong place and time
The system sucks and doesn’t play fair
Feeling tears dripping down my cheeks
Like waking up from a dream to a nightmare
Up and about in my thoughts
Awaiting dawn to hear my verdict
Where I’m from they’ll take your life
You either get killed or face the system
Prayed to the lord for a better day
Felt like he was skipping me up
Walked in court in cuffs
Seeing my mum, her eyes tearing
My heart bleeds, eyes soaked up
Praying the judge sets me free
In the chamber feeling a rush of fear
Worried. The judge offered me freedom
Promised him I’m gonna be the greatest
A dreamer like Luther, eager to change the world
