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
