I Do Not Know

I don’t know
I don’t know 
But if I know 
I’m not sure

Lose of school uniforms and bags
Feces in bowels, plates, and pans
Are they going to study building?
Or we are going to seat yawing?
I don’t know
But if I know
I’m not sure

Mother! The wife of my father
You do all to me, by tongue and medicine
You’ve my fresh but my soul is for God
I’m the only sister, the only brother
I can react like kerosene
I do for good, do me for bad
The sun soon will judge your ignorance
I don’t know
But if I know
I’m not sure.
