IT'S JUST NORMAL

A habitual creature; thats me

I do it today and always

Watching these beautiful ladies

Who make sure I notice them

Their faces, chest and behind

It's just normal and human

But my virtue observing heart

Is not a potential victim

I nourish my eyes with their beauty

And bless their lives with advice

That flowers fate is known

In the morning they are irresistible

But their charm is dead before noon

An understanding being; I try to be

I listen to all words said

Some pleasant, others insulting

From the mouths of gentlemen

By the tongues of wicked women

I take and swallow it all

They are my friends and enemies

I know I can't do anything to help them

For whoever they are it's choice

Their freeedom is uncompromised

I give them an opportunity to spit it all

To the satisfaction of their hearts

They all make my days

My survival; a normal struggle

I make it by changing habitats

To the upcountry; to the urban

I walk in the stinking streets

And trek through the dusty (earthen)roads

Luck drives me through floods and droughts

And my creator's mercy shelters me in the deserts

Darkness spares me it's dangers at night

But I have never been able to avoid natural pain

It follows me wherever I go

But I'm happy that I know it's a debt I must pay

A parmanent stain it is

Only death can wash it clean
