Take a Seat


Take a Seat

The dreaded words of Kenya
            TAKE A SEAT
Five minutes Five hours – all the same
            TAKE A SEAT
No action appears to be happening
            TAKE A SEAT
Lunch has come and gone
            TAKE A SEAT
Alone on the bench
            TAKE A SEAT
Crowded like sardines in a can
            TAKE A SEAT
I grow old and cobwebs gather
            TAKE A SEAT

Significantly Yours

Significantly Yours

Surrounded by those who don’t know you
Silenced by the hardened hearts – avoiding hearts
Do I still speak for you?
Am I too buried in the mud to be significantly different? –
Significantly  yours?
Or
Are you using me?
