Not This And That
I am neither the street man
Nor I am
This and that the person
I am a reality of truth
And decency
To reaching up, to my heart
It is not easy
First creating the truth
In you
And adopting
The sobriety of tone
And dignity in character
Depress the eyes
In shame
Put the trust, in heart
Then think of coming
Into my life
Otherwise,
Take anyone else
Your kind, as you are.
