Wiamoase

Obruni, obruni how are you

The children run up and say

I'm fine how are you is answered

They grab my hands to play

Some children just want to touch me

Others are scared of my skin

They can see that something is different

And yet new friendships begin

Confused

Is it okay to be confused

To let go of certain views

To gain perspective and truth

Going to adult from youth

What happens when conflict arrives

When values and passion collide

When politics and faith don't aline

But together make sense in your mind

Is it possible to hold 2 beliefs

While still maintaining peace

Can faith shed light on what's known

Or is believing both still condoned
