Wakitumia hii story.
But kitu najua ni ati nkifa,

Thralldom etched in Homo sapiens (mine) DNA

Though your true blue stated civilian
never enlisted nor impressed,
nonetheless I own an opinion
originally embarked on poetic quest

that positive aspect that could change me,
instead I rely on my irresistible Charisma
