WRITTEN BY 'BAMIYO FATILEWA
This is what I think
Can
somebody tell me what I don’t know
Because
I feel new things now beginning
New
thoughts now arising
New
feelings now the ease of life, so…
I
thought truth could pave way to the tops
But
was told it makes one a flop
Now
I know little I don’t know…
I
block my ears for I don’t want to hear what they say
Because
I want to hear myself speak…
I
thought they said money quiets the nerves
But
I was told money makes the world go round
I
thought riches was how you acquire it
But
was told it is how you spend it
I
say this because I hate money
But
it’s the lack of money I hate most
Can
you now share the irony of what I don’t know?
This
is what I think
Can
somebody tell me what I don’t know
Because
I feel new things now beginning
New
thoughts now arising
New
feelings now the ease of life, so…
I
chose brain as the way
But
a girl chooses beauty than brains
Because
she knows a man sees well than he thinks
Now
I know little I don’t know…
And
now I will go to the school of modern life
Because
what goes on now has shifted away from what was in town
I
realize time is a storm in which we are all lost
Somebody
bring me out by telling me what I don’t know
Tell
me please…
This
is what I think
Can
somebody tell me what I don’t know
Because
I feel new things now beginning
New
thoughts now arising
New
feelings now the ease of life, so…
