Born in the old days.
And negligent from childhood.
Because of love my mother left me,
For another man.
My father denied me,
but because of the resemblance grand mama
took me in at the age of four.
It was not too long  then they brought Em.
Hustling from childhood,
and taking liquor at the age of six.
Where nobody could give advice.
I turned into a depredator.
I pray to God it never happens again.
Boy from Lwakaka.
