WE TRIED

 

it’s the look on my face that fools people 

they fall for the smiles and the dimples

but deep down I don’t know what tomorrow holds 

a pure tragedy waiting for me to fold

every night I brood and wet my pillow 

I wake up soiled in wallow and hollow 

no one cares how you do, just win 

they just want to see the result, ignore the sins 

a scripted plot for doom 

they cheer only when your flower blooms 

the male is ridiculed to a test subject 

without finances, you are a midget 

a bloodless battle lingers on in my mind 

scenarios plays in my head in rewind 

the world is designed against the men 

right from the day you start to produce semen

we tried, wallahi we still do 

yet still, the world will play you for a fool 

bumpy rides that drains us psychologically 

flushing our sanities down the alley 

each moment is packed with despair 

illusions and psychosis beyond repair 

the world demands so much from little us

juxtaposing our speed to that of a racing horse 

dementia and Alzheimer is not a safe haven 

all struggles don’t guarantee you’d make heaven 

this life is rigged against man 

just pray you are not born into the wrong clan
