survival

i was born in a city
where there is no love, no unity
i was born in a country
where disease and hunger bites
as if mosquito was sucking your blood
i was born in a world
where my colour meant segregation
i was born in a land
where hardship lies
where power meant corruption
i was born in a home
where one bed meant for five people
where one slice of bread meant for five bellies
i was born in a universe
where surviving meant giving up your life
for the next generation to be free
