Assumptions

Rapped with red wires
Covered all my body
Piped to a point of no return
Screaming my life out
Voice of hardship within is all i could hear
"Ngixoleleni angenzanga lutho"
"Ngixoleleni angazi ngenzeni bafwethu"
"Mbophe ibophe lenja iyajwayela"
Aaaweee!
Aaaweee!
Ngenzeni?
Ngiyaxolisa!
Not a word they could hear
Not a tear they could see
Not even pain they could feel
No remorse
Nothing
"Ubuthi wini wena"
"Uzenza uclever"
"Uzibona ungcono kunabanye abantu"
"Sgebengu ndini"
Aaaweee mah
Ngiyaxolisa !
Bafowethu Ngiyaxolisa!
Aaaweee!
I was getting a beating of my life
Beaten for sins i knew nothing about
Beaten because I wake in the early hours
Beaten because i was working to feed my family
Beaten because the day before someone broke in to my neighbors house stole appliance.
Community believe i was the thief
Only after i was bruised to a point where someone decided it was enough
I was asked why do i steal?
At my shock and disappointment i was a thief
Thief due to i wake early in the morning
Go through danger of being mugged and killed
To be beaten for something i know nothing about
