Who are You

who are you? I am asking because you think you know, but you don't ! Yet you don't think you don't know! You are just something, if something else exists You are your Mama's child You are your papa's child Or you baby's ma or pap without whom you are nowhere You say you are teacher of history or her story, without whose story you then don't exist, you are nothing You say you are a driver And so without the car your title is gone You exist because a car exists So who are you? A preacher, rabbi, evangelist Without the sinners, you gonna move from sin you are nothing till sin comes to rescue you from yourself A policeman, No that's not you The thieves may quit and then you quit Even the thief thiefs the neighbors outfit, without which the thief must see it fit to quit A boxer too punches your nose So without your nose who knows He won't be him The doctor is nothing till you chase your running bottom or buttock for those who talk or call it by name. Without gout and other bouts the nurse is out. So who are you? If lies could die, what would I be The lawyer must lie in court No lie no law, no law no lawyer Lie low my friend. If you are a judge, seek no grudge For you are in charge You are the king today, tomorrow you're gone, they call you the late Yet you were early in every meeting Be humble You are nobody till somebody is You nothing till something is You are absent till something is present who are you?
