The LEGEND I met

THE LEGEND I MET

You probably wouldn’t know him,you probably wouldn’t meet him

But he wouldn’t be forgotten

Babaiya was what he went by, famous for his old age

Having lived for three quarters a century ,but no quits

Mostly spoke in low tones , but named amongst tongues

Also had love for them , who sucked all his coin

People claimed he was young,dumb and ended broke

But i saw different.

Being Young comes with weakness,one which is difficult to discern

And women was his weakness

This was a warrior , one who slaughtered beasts

Now just a frame of his youthful age, leading his way to rest

He had the smile of an African man

Proud to be shone down

Although not great and vast as “legends”

He was proud to walk the face of earth

The LEGEND I met.

BEAUTIFUL BLACK CHILD
