Pebbles Outside

He feels lonely at heart
He feels absent from his surroundings
He weaves himself like the kente
He wanders like a running stomach
He shrinks himself in the comfort of his conscience

The wind of hope departs from his presence
He has no peace with the present as he battles with the forces of reality
His mind shreds into little pieces
The spanner of despair loses his mind and pulls him   down to the ground

The past came knocking like Santa clause
He transforms to lady gaga
The passer by looked on and said to one another
He is actually   going gaga
He laid his troubled heart at their feet as he wrapped himself in the hugging arms of sympathizers
