Stranger!!
Ohhh dear stranger!!
I enjoyed the conversation that we shared in our long journey heading home in the middle of the night.
With the words of Eric Miyeni (Someone had to pay )but It was definitely not me ..
I had to lie about me to keep me safe from what I don't know ..
I couldn't just look at you and trust you with your baggy hoody at night ..
You are either a thug or a ra**st in the eyes of us whom grew in this dirty muddy neighborhood..
I had to sell you a dream because no black man knows the conversations that are held in Poker Nights ..
I told all about the modules and semesters that I never had, for us to hold a proper conversation without you thinking dirty on me ..
A take back every lie I shared with you but I owe you no explanation ..
Not forgetting the fear I had when these 9 boys standing next to the shop exchanging flates ..
In these streets Flayt is a conversation..
But!! stranger
Oh dear stranger !!
For a minute I forgot all my problems ..
It was nice in my fairy world I wish I can stay there ..
It's safe there .
Because reality hits hard..
To be continued....
