For Millions Of Years Poem by ahmed kakembo

For millions of years
mankind lived just like
the animals
Then something happened
which unleashed the power
of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now
I can't seem to speak now
My words won't come out right
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm feeling weak now
But I can't show my weakness
