Unfolded slave

Unfolded Slaves

Yes we are
We are the slave
Unfolded Slaves
As we doomed by promises that will never be fulfilled,
Thee unfolded slave we're.

Untold truth
Unfolded tounges used behind closed doors
Emotionally we drained
We powerless with words as we turn to be blinded by empty promises
That will be fulfilled.
Yes we're unfolded slaves.

Fighting each other
Ongoing arguments between us divided and seperated by colours in colonies and semi colonies of the doomed world worldwide my dearest friend.
Unfolded Slaves,
Oh! Yes we are.

Leaders are born by birth
Given directions from wormbs of their mothers
Smuggling and hustling
Before even brought in this crazy world.
Oh! we're unfolded slaves.

Today's leaders are made
with fortunes of unfloded slaves, where is ubuntu?
Where is ubuntu bubuntu ngabantu?
Batho peli is no longer a case as we are unfolded slave in this world of pain and shame.
We are unfolded slaves.

Our brother's and sister's
Knowledge and intelligents, are folded
And thrown away like farway the slavery sizzling destiny.

Our golden side are covered by passerby no names with intension to be seen overhead in Knysna heads my friend.
We are unfolded slaves.

Today's brothers and sisters, are turning against each other for recognition and better positions nevertheless bitter ending looming and loading to chop the big tree free loaded.
We are unfolded slaves.

Some turned to be time keepers for those who are misfortune with poor background and destiny
But not being aware through all this, they're building unbreakable, strong human dimensions with strong
Powers, brain, intelligence and golden knowledge for the world.
Then gone are thee unfolded slaves at the end of the struggle my brothers and sisters.
Gone are thee unfolded slaves my dearest friend.
