Humphrey Haji Luvumbi Poet Free verse

Do you think it's real?

Do you think that it’s all real
Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about it
'Cause I’ve caught you looking up and talking to yourself
And many nights you’d just find reasons to be out alone
 
Do you think that it’s all real
Better yet, do you think you on the right path
Or it doesn’t bother you
Cause you be going about your life without care
 
Do you think that it’s all real
Or we were told that much to keep us in check
Cause nothing scared us more than that
The thought of not going
 
Do you think that its all real
Or you're only doing what you told
You’ve never questioned, even though you have lots of questions
You've just been the obedient kid because you’ve kept at it
 
Do you think that it’s all real
Or this is just it, there’s nothing more to it
Are you even in the slightest concerned
Cause you seem unmoved
 
I know it’s real
I just can’t prove to you
I just hope you get to feel it too
Cause when you know you know

Brandy Nicole January 22, 2026 at 5:20 PM It's very real, my dear friend. Evidence is all around, with rain upon the window pane, to the whispering wind caressing soft skin. So wonderful, indeed. My best to you. ~ Brandy
