Aphiwe Sikobi Poet Blank verse

Gun and a Bullet Proof

Every soldier needs a gun and a bullet proof 
This is not a battle, but baby i need a hiding-head roof 
a gun, for power and ability to give out affection 
Bullet proof, for heartbreak control and soul protection 
a soldier like me must be armed with flexible minds 
Strong enough to defeat the changing times 
Today you are beautiful and loved 
Tomorrow who knows you would be pretty and naive 
every soldier needs a gun and a bullet proof 
A gun, to make a voice when you cannot be heard 
Bullet proof to accept response that is said 
Baby im not forcing things, I'm being prepared 
Who knows what's next,I can't be chained, i'm scared
