I fear
I Fear
I Fear for I hear
Not like weeds but,Am fast a-growing!
Like Eden,your account will be glowing
My body shines, like stars your wishes
expand
Like let there be manna, that's money for you to earn
I Fear and vainly drear
I must not go to school
Am only fit for the kitchenbstool
'When do we marry her off, honey Money!
We can't keep poor this long
70 cows, 50 cars 10 castles won't be long.
I Fear for I don't hear
Am your daughter so dear
Like sons, I can better the nation, no fear
Am a conqueror, priceless, spotless
'You will not be choiceless'
Father dear, I fear,Why do I not I hear?
Am not a commodity
I will marry after university
Is Fine wine ever worth when young?
Father dear, trade me not, am a Human, so young
Kenneth Obwoya
