I am me,

My father’s son,

My mother’s hope,a future I strive

An alternate future they hope,

They said money does not buy happiness

I bought me a joint

I smiled until the sun slept,

I life a life of a quarter,

And hope to land on the edge every day.

I am who I am,

Africa raised me,

The world smothered me.

Ideas where born,

On toilet seats and hot showers,

The bastards where born,

The hot shower in the hotel room,

I conceive life,

My life, the one you can’t take from me,

For having breath is not having life.
