Do Not Give Me Sympathy Poem by Tony Adah

Leave me to my ways
the tracks which I mark for history
or for myself
I will not follow you
For I trust my footsteps
Even when I falter I will find my way
When I fall I will rise
The foibles of one man
Can never become the foibles of the world
And every snail
Has dingle berries
Leave me alone to myself
I do not know what's up your sleeves
That makes you tick
Of virtue or vice I do not know
Leave me to my dribs and drabs endeavours
For some day they will add up to
What the world will know about hereafter.
