Who am I?
Upon my life
Upon my soul
I was germinated
From second class grains
Exhausted by termites,
White ants and other decaying matters
I grew up among my age mates
With hatred and isolation
I'm called second class material
Born out of wedlock and rejected
From unknown parents
A collection of ovum
Fertilized and formed me
I'm a thin and flat human
Who doesn't know his parents
I am surviving in a midst of mystery
Who am I?
Father, mother
Where are you?
When I was in your womb, mother
I was comfortable
I thought you will care for me
Why did you abandon me, mother?
Mother, come back to me
I need your love and support.
Include me in this social community
Let my age mates know that you are there
Call me born of true mother
Where is my father?
I imagine
Somewhere in the galaxy
Moving forever with psalms
My own mother
Could not tell me
Where my father is
I learned she is not
The true mother
But a care taker
Who am I?
