onalethuso petruss ntema (27/02/1985 / Maun, Botswana)
a little one drop
give me a little one drop
of the blessings today
to dwell by the conscious other
and well me by the anxious other
to reign the personal actor
beyond the significant other,
like the elephant mother
chasing forth its enemy
from the nest of its daughter
vigilantly
and diligently
proudly
jerking all traits,
mentally
fit, to a little one drop
than the feathers
of brothers
that flock together
away from the climax
of thought, and tide.
