WE AS WE ARE

For MaryAnn

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

It`s difficult for anyone to trust
And when we do, we become capital fools
I know that very well
Because I know myself
And that`s the plain truth to me
Not an ounce more, not an ounce less.

But that doesn`t mean we are the earth`s crust
Neither are we in any way Caesar`s tools
It`s just that each time we have to sink a well
We forget all about the Cancerian book shelf
And if necessary we go down on one knee
Until my soul mate comes and takes off the stress.
