AFRICA'S PLEA

 

I am not you- but you will not give me a chance,

will not let me be me.

'If I were you-' but you know

I am not you,

yet you will not let me be me.

 

You meddle, interfere in my affairs

as if they were yours and you were me.

You are unfair, unwise, foolish to think

that I can be you, talk, act

and think like you.

God made me. He made you. For God's sake

let me be me.

 

(Roland Tombekai Dempster)
