Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

I Like Muslims

During my childhood,
I played often with a
Muslim girl.

As a new high school 
student,
a Muslim neighbor
then a senior student,
saved me from bullies.

One time in campus,
a Muslim friend paid
taxi fare on my behalf.

Every Friday evening,
a Muslim retail store offers
free maize flour
to the less fortunate.

If you ask me,
I've no problem with Muslims;
they are so compassionate 
in nature.
