We Are Not Who We Are

Description

A Collection of Poems on sundry issues by Simbo Olorunfemi, He says :

“We are who we are

We are not who they think we are

The song of yesterday

Does not define us

We are who we are

We have a new song

roaring to burst forth

from the discarded belly

We are not who they left us as

We are not who we once were

Their brew of bile

Will only swallow

Their convoluted tongues

Ours is a banner of love,

Not of disjointed songs

We are who we are

We are not who they are

We are who we are

We are not who we were

Watch us have a rebirth

At the foot of Ikogosi

Then you will be able to see us

For whom we truly are

We are who we are

We are not what we were

We are who we are

Their song does not define us

Our scream of defiance

is what tells who we truly are

We are who we are

We are not who they wish we are

We are who we are

Their song of cowardice

Only reflects who they are

Our fidelity to yesterday

Speaks for our eyes on tomorrow

Their caricature only speaks for them

We are not who they think we are

We are who we are”
