ONE DAY I'LL BE A THIEF

THAT ONE MYSTERY THAT MAKES US WHOLE

And some she just enchains in her cage

KILL ME TOO

What satisfaction is it we seek in destruction?

 The green that freshes the air I breathe,

Towering green that haven melodies of the birds,

The flora that defines the green of my flag,

If I wake up one morning and find it all gone,

Do not hesitate, kill me too!

The swash and backwash of the streams of life,

Droplets that quench, yet still homes the fish,

Those turbulent forces of water brown and blue,

If I wake up one morning and find it all dry,

Speak no word, kill me too!

The jungle chorale! A rhythm of the wild,

Where predators and prey strive to survive,

My land’s pride, the fauna…Owimoweh!

If I wake up one morning and find it all dead

Waste no time, kill me too!

All these creative artwork of the One above,

They pleases thine eyes and saves thy lives,

What satisfaction is it we seek in destruction?

If I wake up one morning, find’em down and dead;

Sing me a dirge; then kill me too!
