Masero Odari Poems

You and I are not the same
We might have the same name
But we are world's apart
You came to rave and rove and plunder
...

I think you should talk to me
For your voice make me be free
I think you should talk to me
For otherwise my soul bleeds
...

You deserve a medal
For you pushed hard on that pedal
You put the pedal to the metal
You won the race dint you?
...

No one should ever go through what we did
For a son should not a tender age be separate
From she who is the primary care-giver
And if it was her fault would you still forgive her?
...

You're a fool, that is why I hate you
When I was young where the hell were you?
You're a fool, that is why I hate you
You gave me sleepless nights at just the age of two
...

Your heart is mine,
Your smile is mine,
Your frown is mine;
Beautiful.
...

My gaze wandered and beheld,
Such raw beauty, a heart of gold.
These beans today I spill;
That when I see your smile
...

I once had a chance:
I took it with nonchalance
And along came a tiger
And a tiny little spider
...
