Poems

Self-portrait
I can't say anything
the truth is I don't know
to speak lies or half-truths
isn't the way to go-
I'll hear you all
some wisdom to acquire
patient and humble I'll be
to be a better person to aspire-
they say life is know-how
tools to sharpen the wit
I've endeavoured all my life
but never managed to hit it-
I'll not say anything
perhaps not to speak at all
while the masses rally
slogans to shout--I'll not join their call
