Njeri Hunjeri Poet I do not know?

The Inner Appearance

You have seen me through the category
  of non existence
  yet in me you found a gold mine
you took the sky achievement medal
to entertain yourself, your few specials
    and your many many enslaved assistants.

I hate to look this lost,
this ashamed, this fresh, this pure
I want to be seen as I-in my worst income 
                       and in my best outcome
I blame no man, not even a white man
   Never on my mother
I blame no one except myself

Richard Lamoureux February 28, 2015 at 7:37 AM The age of understanding unfolds towards destiny. I enjoyed your introspective piece. Our world is filled with people who spend energy blaming others that could be concentrated on changing their circumstances. All achievement grows out of adversity, if it is harnessed there is no telling how far it will propell us. Njeri Hunjeri March 1, 2015 at 8:45 PM Wow. Those are words to keep. Thank you Richard for your wise words.
