Forced Destiny

In a land of no opportunity
A child is born with a destiny
Destined to be a handsome young man
To do things never done by his clan
As he grows he sees injustice and exploitation
Becomes confused with all this annihilation
Wants to study but has no school
Parents and relatives label him a fool
Wants to play but with whom?
Children and siblings return after rise of moon
Wants to laugh but life makes him cry
Failed in all his desires, no matter how hard he tries
Struggles for two square meals a day
Water is his tears which he sheds away
Like this he reaches adolescence
But life still has not made amends
Only two options for him to live
Kill or die but don’t forgive
Frustrated the young man takes the gun
Hoping to correct the cruelty life has done
Violence is chosen for a cause
He did not want to be kicked around like a dog
Like this he spends all his teens
No mercy to any for what they’ve been
Delivering his own brand of justice
One day he is surrounded by police
Bullets sprayed from both the sides
Another young ************* dies
What is he and what could have been?
His life, his tribulations nobody has seen
Young man forced to become dynamite
The world labels him *************
