George Egba - Self Aside

Loud the mouthpiece summarize
Deaf the earpiece by surprise
Aches the heartbeat fear for fault
Move the mindset to a halt
Watch the head strain free from filthy rags
Keep away from rage
Cross a life poised to hear
Forget a countdown risk to bear
All the sight sees tales of gold
Treasures are not all as they unfold
That take the unguided feet fast astray
To taste that seems right like a prey
Though feels all good like a friend
Atlas must come back to hunt our end
Betray the trust and all that was precious
Living less with lessons unconscious
They keep running with time against us
What shall a man give in exchange for his soul
If time is against him he become a doll
And all fancy fade with the dew
When his sunshine days becomes a few
His early last days become a tale
