Broken beyond Repair

Iddrisu Wuntima Philemon 2002 (Nalerigu)

BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR
Every day we go to sleep in despair
Thinking about how this life is so unfair
And how it’s never going to be fair
We have been taught before going anywhere
We will need a fare
And clearly looking at ourselves, does it mean we are going nowhere without a fare,
Someone must have an affair
Before getting to occupy the position they deserve
This is so unfair
The only way life can be fair
Is through a divine repair
Because our systems are ‘broken beyond repair’.
                       Iddi Phil
