Claims

What would I do if I was slapped by a stranger? I’m terribly, strongly, dealt with by hunger Would accept help from someone much younger If you do not know these answers Why do you claim you know me? B: Who would I call if I need advice? I fall sick to help out and be my nurse To liven my day adding some spice Cook for me, even if it’s just rice You don’t know, so why do you think you do? C: What do you think are the answers to these questions? My best friends, foods, subjects, favorite colors What about my siblings, parents, my cousins No? You don’t know So why do you claim you know? D: What did you think I would say? That I am in this game you want to play I just know definitely not in this day Having the liberty, so if I may The last on this I want to say Why do you claim you know me?

stereotypes suck.. especially when they smother one voiceless.. thanks for the write, Olu.. and do you mean "if" instead of "it" in the first line?
