Deep in the Savannah
There lives a man
Far from the village
Deep in unfamiliar land
There was a time
When he was a boy
He lived with his people
He lived with joy
He played with peers
Enjoyed his time
A free spirit
Of sound mind
As he started growing
His mother talked a lot
Scolding every moment
Punishing his own thought
At first he didn't realise
The effects it had on him
When father started hitting
When his Patience wore thin
"It hurts me more than you"
Is what they said
Tell me who was the one
Crying bruised and broken in the bed ?
The proud young boy
Shaken to his core
Couldn't endure this pain
He just couldn't anymore
Deep in the Savannah
There lived a man
Removed from himself
An empty vessel
A empty man
