Written by Trevor Mhlanga (Edited by Kudakwashe Nhlanhla Chikosi)
I was born out of wedlock
Born because the condom broke
And like a cursed black cock
I was treated like pork
I was unloved, and unwanted
Born because abortion malfunctioned
Hated since the day my seed was planted
Before I was born I should have been sanctioned
I have been till now constantly rejected
My birth has always been regretted
And in pain I have been persistently subjected
Till I believed I was forevermore rejected
But I know now that I am no mistake
Though born because in sin they did partake
And there after me did they forsake
I am still God's miraculous make
This is my born identity
I am not a nonentity
God Himself forged my identity
And made me an unequivocal entity
Despite the use of a condom, I was born
It couldn't stop me and it got torn
The strength of abortion pills got worn
And indeed I was born
When none wanted me alive I made it
I was dumped in a bin and still made it
Death has tried me but I have fought it
So the DNA of victory I have it
I am a Fighter and a Victor that's me
Empowered by Christ who spilt his blood for me
His halo of protection is always round about me
While His Spirit lies forever within me
This is my born identity
I am not a nonentity
I say this in all liberty
For it is Christ that gave me this identity
I live to fullfill my born identity
To impact and to impart this identity
Living as that unequivocal entity
For I am not a nonentity!
