[Mvua Ya Kiangaz]

just for funny....................

NOT YET MY DEATHDAY;
​

I pray​

Yet, I don’t pray​

It’s not yet Christmas;​

​

I smile​

Yet, I don’t laugh;​

The trouble never ends to trouble.​

​

I’m happy​

Yet, I’m not happy​

I will again be hungry;​

​

I see the light​

Yet, shadows pass​

None can overcome the trespass;​

​

I love​

Yet, it isn’t love​

It teaches doves to kiss and men to sin;​

​

I love life​

Yet, I hate strife​

Life has both the ups and downs;​

​

I listen​

Yet, I don’t speak​

Two speakers nonsense doth speak;​

​

I bath​

Yet, I don’t bath​

The towel becomes dirty too;​

​

I forgive​

Yet, I don’t forget​

I neither a Christian nor a Muslim;​

​

I’m rich​

Yet, I’m poor​

Midwives know my emptiness;​

​

I know​

Yet, I don’t know​

I remember nothing the day I was born;​

​

I fear​

Yet, I don’t afraid​

Death must eat my body;​

​

​

I cry​

Yet, I sing​

Every new day welcomes my old age;​

​

I sleep​

Yet, I don’t sleep​

For it’s not Yet my death day:​
