five years ago,
i was a believer of the lie
that if you give a man time
to listen to many voices cry
it may compel a man to try

now,
I’ve learnt to touch the anointed
and do the prophet every harm
of questioning the questioned questions
and answering the answered answers

in the future,
i want to be a leader that follows
and a citizen that contributes
his quota to nation-building
by being a mirror one can look at
