#359 Thinking aloud

I am an African warrior

I fight as many battles as I can

I have been fighting all my life

since I left African land

I fight battles when I find them

As I walk these cold streets

I don’t understand their ways

I won’t concede defeat

I have been here all my life

there is a lot I still don’t know

I have too much pride

so I struggle on with no indication

that what I am doing isn’t right

I work hard

I’ve even got a  few degrees

try as I will

they still have much more than me

they have stability

this comes with owning land

I rent for too many years

scared to venture out of  their plans

there are times when I walk the streets

with fear in my heart

there is money to be made

I don’t know where to start

it is not as difficult as you think

as long as you have connections

the world is your oyster

we are the pearls

our naivety is precious

wherever we have been scattered

scattered around this world

we stay where we are put

without a definitive plan
