I Don't Have The Answer Yet
I Don't Have The Answer- Yet
As one grows old
One gets more bold
And as a boy growing up
I have seen folks around me
Behave very funny
And I always try
To find out why
In my own way
Of course
You were rebuked
And told “Hog ask eh mumma
How eh mouth so long.”
They try to shut you down
To quiet you
To know your place
Some drift away
From their peers
From their family
From their very own
And clasp to strangers
Forgetting “Blood is
Thicker than water’
When we were young
We looked up to our elders
But when they behave
Weird without
Rhyme or reason
We’re at a loss
I think we are here
For a reason
We can’t be good
At or in everything
So we came here
For a purpose
What is yours
Do you gossip
Just for the fun
To create mischief
Are you a shit disturber
And laugh at other’s
Luck and misfortune
Do you try to do good
Everytime you can
Do you go out of your way
To help someone in need
Or you turn your face
Do you always say
It ain’t my business
We ants don’t beg
And we don’t borrow
Do you live a selfish life
Just for you and yours
And leave the rest
For the other man
And do you sleep
With your conscience
What do you teach
Your kids
When you behave
So selfish
Aren’t you telling them
My way or the Hiway
What is your purpose
Can you truly say
I think I am here
And I am making
A mark
Would anyone
Miss you when you’re gone
For this is the only
Yardstick to use
To judge if
You have made
A difference
I am getting on
The steep slope
I have seen a lot
I have heard a lot
I don't have the answer..yet
Working on it
But still learning
From all the Gurus
Around the world.
