he asked me my country's future? And              was startled I pointed to my smoking scars— they are the path where I entered my pains.                                                                              I said. my future wear prayers like sunglasses.              we only show others what we want them to know                           lying to ourselves, thinking out body is a single person.             drowning in the arms of our potentials.               he asked me my country's road where the past had tared for our journey               through my eyes, he saw a fog future linking only through to an un-motorable road —               where museum of scars and blood are the only vualable display antiquity               and the violence a home where our beds are death            my country is a pregnant ******              whom everyone sleep with but no  one want her baby we call people friends just to suit our purpose             they are all fake because we are too. now i know. don't **** yourself umar yogiza jr. don't die.              your heart is not full, no one's heart is. i cannot go round waiting to be loved              everyone have themselves to love, and not enough. The city walk, no one claim.              the village I left, no one claim. stranger at home and outside home               all people care-for is their room. yogiza, this city eat you like breakfast,                                                              yet you                make your ancestral home stranger to feed you. every eye on me is suspicion —now even mine.                if you ask me where am i going? i don't know! the past, present and future had been claimed                 i won't **** myself, i love you everybody i meet. this is not my poem but yours. i want to smile.

for umar yogiza jr.
he asked me my country's future? And              was startled I pointed to my smoking scars— they are the path where I entered my pains.                                                                              I said. my future wear prayers like sunglasses.              we only show others what we want them to know                           lying to ourselves, thinking out body is a single person.             drowning in the arms of our potentials.               he asked me my country's road where the past had tared for our journey               through my eyes, he saw a fog future linking only through to an un-motorable road —               where museum of scars and blood are the only vualable display antiquity               and the violence a home where our beds are death            my country is a pregnant ******              whom everyone sleep with but no  one want her baby we call people friends just to suit our purpose             they are all fake because we are too. now i know. don't **** yourself umar yogiza jr. don't die.              your heart is not full, no one's heart is. i cannot go round waiting to be loved              everyone have themselves to love, and not enough. The city walk, no one claim.              the village I left, no one claim. stranger at home and outside home               all people care-for is their room. yogiza, this city eat you like breakfast,                                                              yet you                make your ancestral home stranger to feed you. every eye on me is suspicion —now even mine.                if you ask me where am i going? i don't know! the past, present and future had been claimed                 i won't **** myself, i love you everybody i meet. this is not my poem but yours. i want to smile.
