ME AS MY OWN MIRROR

(For Menerva)

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

Life is style
But that, of course, depends on which side you’re on
Are you sailing up the Nile?
Or perhaps you’re just an object on the run
But if all you care about is your bile
Then, obviously, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

A philosopher once said: “Know thyself”
And I believe I know myself well
I don’t have to read every book on the shelf
To know that once I’ve met my soul mate, I’m well.
That’s why I believe so much in God and myself.
