Who has taught me to be
from myself?
Who has thrown me into
this ugly court?
The unfair court where
the magistrate is self
The plaintiff here is
soul
The defendant is the
desires that roam daily
In the garden of soul
That the desires are
supposed to submit to soul
Dress smartly and go to
church, do good deeds
And pray every day,
help the beggars and the poor
Deny yourself the
dances that are not godly
Refrain from showing
your body, do not forget to
Read your Bible and
forgive those who trespass against you
And
listen to what desire says,
Am
I going to be held custody for being stylish
Oh
no! will I go to jail for letting my enemies be
You
are sending me to prison because the poor did not work
To
earn and I did worked hard for my wealth and oh!
I
cannot help them
Am
I confined to this box just to state a reason why
I
choose to dance to more creative music that church music
Look,
when has it become wrong to read brilliant people’s writings
That
the biggest boring book you call a Bible
Well,
now I see, soul you want to impose rules on me
And
so I should be your slave
Order in court!
Plaintiff and the defendant
I have heard you all,
Depending on what I
think is right
Depending on what I
think is right
Even me justice self, I
am self as you see
Easily corrupted and
compromised
I don’t know what say
to you then
If I will be for
desire, I will be for destruction
If I be for soul, I
will be for everlasting joy
The force in between is
stronger than famous Samson
Let me be self, self
yes, human. I will have you all
