We all believe in one God. But under different ways Under different names With the different stories and beliefs which connects us all to that one God The difference proves that our IQs are not working in the same way and that’s what differentiates us I mean the difference differentiates us through the different perspectives in seeing and understanding things Yes the world needs the difference of course Different races Different cultures Different foods and many more which differentiates us But the most important thing is that we unite our differences and build a better world with our points of views

Right in your hands That very hard night Because I am your child That time we had a chance to turn a page and the only way to get out of the stupid town. Bang bang bang Trrrack trrrack Krack krack krack Those are the sounds we heard behind us as we were running away Oh my goodness Now I understand the meaning of refugee in Kiswahili. Mkimbizi Meaning a runner We need peace
Confusion
I am called African The UN calls me a refugee I call myself an alien My parents think I am the baby My neighbors say I act as an adult At school my class teacher calls me the big head of the class While the school head mistress thinks I’m one of the well behaved kids of the whole school. I am beautiful like girls But I am a boy. I am not gay or lesbian but even myself I don’t understand. Because I am a boy but behave like girls sometimes. Finally someone understood me and named me: The Confusion.
