Everything Against Me
Waking up in the morning,
I saw the sun angry with me.
Leaves bent low to slap me
Cows that ate little mooed,
asking me for more that day
In wheelbarrows wind placed
rubbish heap in the courtyard;
And the phone rang loudly,
landlord wanted rent arrears
As I moved, stone hit my toe
“Another bad day for me!”
I sat at the veranda thinking;
“And those happen as routine!
What I did not know is;
Why are both human beings
and nature against me,
every morning, each day?”
I soliloquized in distress.
