I am on the fence
But I know I still have some common sense
Am I confused and with poor understanding?
No. I may be little
but I see clearly
Or maybe there is a reason
for all of this Else,
why would I still be confused about that or this?
I hope to get some answers, so let me ask my questions
Where am I from?
Or should I too blindly join these processions?
Do I have an identity?
What exactly is my own peculiarity?
If you too are confused,
Then surely my dilemma should be excused
I cook myself every day in this suit and tie Sweating and baking under the sun,
like a fowl that know
its end is nigh Ah ah, the tie is choking me, can't they all see?
Or am I the only one suffering?
Surely that can't be
Why can't I tie my two piece lappa and walk freely
At least then I won't be baking in heat, and walking around miserably
Why can't I wear coral beads on my waist without being labeled 'marine spirit'?
The ankara is very beautiful, even mama says it Yet, it is until I cook myself in suit and tie,
that I look 'professional' and good to go
Society tells me it's the right way to look,
but do I have to follow?
