This is a Moroccan beat which I personally love. Please listen while reading, I really would appreciate it, thank you 😊

Cast upon him a burden
a wicked curse
born under the wrong agenda
what could be worse?
Life's value lost and hollow
burned out
can anybody hear you?
There's no way out!
Trapped in a hell from which
there is no escape
for being born on the wrong
side of the moon
life is cruel, look at his face
His beauty untouched
eyes having seen too much
out of tune out of touch…
I can't even begin to imagine
the human suffering where you are
no laughter only sorrow
no hugs or good night kisses
no hope for tomorrow…
Does anybody know what happened
to the flowers where you are—
or the will to live, not just survive
live, die, eat, sex and cry
He'll be leaving soon
wearing his pride on his chest
singing his favorite tune
dressed in his Sunday best!
Yes, he'll be humming his favorite song
long after he's gone
knowing his dream is now reality,
left behind a life of psychosis banality...
