AFRICA’S PLEA

I am not you –but you will notgive me a chance,will not let me be me.

If I were you –but you knowI am not you,Yet you will notlet me be me.

You meddle, interferein my affairsas if they were yoursand you were me.

You are unfair, unwisefoolish to thinkthat I can be you,talk, actand think like you.

God made me me.He made you you.For God’s sakeLet me be me.
