Analysis of I don't bite!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
I am just a child with freckles
Although a fair bit more than normal
They make me red, but am not angry
And I swear I won't bite you
I simply have a different skin color
And my shade might be a bit darker
The difference is only skin deep
And no reason to worry I will bite you
My religion might look strange to you
And my gods might sound alien
But we have a common goddess, Mother Nature
And we are taught not to bite others
I am just an old geezer
Or a crone if you crow about it
I was once young and beautiful like you
And I have no teeth left to bite anyone
I simply love differently
But my heart beats the same way
I was born this way
And biting others is a no way
I don't bite!
