Relate

Relate I’m caused by you In relation with you I remember when we were in jail We did to our best but we fail Are we now the tail? In development to tale I behave as you do I react as you do I reason as you do So, like father like children Like birth like death Ask me to do what we do My rolled face with toned tallness of blackish People do call me endearing as the beauties in my round eyes Truth known by the speaker Pains known by the client Talk to me the truth Not of Shimbolyo and Nshimbe of Achebe I believe in what I do not even see By attractive memories are to what is abstract I see without eyes Demonstrating without the influence of my keen skin Replaying with unvoiced soundless conversation I’m empty ear likely a deaf being a good listener I see without eyes I look like having wings To adhere their sins in veins and caves I admire to stop those calling orphans Because words obviously gives Signs obviously directs I look like having wings A rock of roles I have A bundle of thoughts I have A trust of personality I have Sway me to trust a prisoner Sway me to trust a traitor A rock of roles I have, to keep my status in believe In a relation A caption and a valid drupe Tighten with a rope Seeing is not listening, as hearing not looking
