 “Africa’s Plea”
By Roland Tombekai Dempster
I am not you -
but you will not
give me a chance
will not let me be me
‘If I were you’ -
but you know
I am not you,
yet you will not
let me be me.
You meddle, interfere
in my affairs
as if they were yours
and you were me.
You are unfair, unwise,
foolish to think
that I can be you,
talk, act
and think like you.
God made me me.
He made you you.
For God’s sake Back
Let me be me
