Was going somewhere
Just like everyone
Came across him
Said I,
Good morning
Answered he,
Good morning!
We started conversing
He pointed out the fact
He doesn’t like those
Who don’t greet!
I agreed with him
Also told him it’s the reason
For loneliness and depression
Experienced by many in the West!
Remembering my Africa
If you’re not seen any day
It’s sure you’ll receive
Many a visitor!
But in the West
It’s privacy
Until one dies in the house
Na privacy.
He felt he should give me a gift
What did he give me?
A token of love
Cheap but appreciated!
