Analysis of An impending young priest
I looked into my new world
with total changes
I wore my loin,
took my staff of office and moved,
Ready to stand and face all my challenges,
Stocked with the courage which i've already received;
I walked like a lion
that governs all the animals in the jungle,
Forgetting my old self
and old environment,
Moving into the world of the unpredictable,
i walked possibly;
Starting up a new agenda
in a new dimention
with a different movement,
Stocked with my piece of black-wood beautified in cowries,
I decided to pause and see how i look in a mirrow,
I saw a stranger
and hoped that stranger isn't me,
i hissed,
I looked into my new world
and saw what shocked me to the marrow;
With my fantasy aside,
i strolled in cowries and loin,
Oh! consulted by elders,
bush! Shall incantation be my life on?
