SHACKLED INNOCENCE

I have journeyed this far
Sperm cells to zygote
Loaded with dreams of life
Before the stabbed knife.
Days of fetus incubation
To emerge an elite fertilization
Escaped deeds of contraception
Survived bullets of abortion.

A beginning. of beginnings
A starting of happenings
Ending before commencement
Struggled hard to get here
Only to get this far nowhere
Efforts all summoned in vain
Innocence shackled in pain.

What did I do,
To deserve such cruelty?
What did I do,
To witness endless brutality?
What did I do,
To witness the wrath of banditry?
What did I do?
My only crime is being human.
