A glance through my father's lenses

Shaffina Mohammed 1989 (Sangre Grande)

The woman whom you failed to love
Has cried all her tears for you
Blindly at the world she shrugs
While new love has found you
The love you show is dim
Or prolly invisible
Cause your money's always thin
While beer is inevitable
Though family ties are never tied
The rope is still there
I can't say you didn't try
You just didn't go all the way
It's not rather or preferred
More like storms or blizzards
Write it on the billboards
I need a devine Intervention
