Olatuja Oloyede: To My Brothers on the Street

To my brothers on the naked street
With no water, no bread
Who has no shelter, no bed
Clothed in rags and shreds
Asking why he had no right
To chose the life they loved to live
I too do not know
Why it has to be so

I feel your pains in mine
But I don't know what's your crime
The loners of the land
You ain't do no thing
To deserve all of these
You've got all rights to be free

Though I don't know why it is so
Yet have you wondered where you go
When it all over and you die
A world you won't have to cry
Awaits on the other side
You will be a bride
Honoured by millions forever
A end to your hopeless wander
