You don't trust my knowledge
Because yours is incomplete
You don't know where I'm from;
how I've worked
how I've thought
How I've fought.

You only know my fellow citizen
The one covered in flies, shit & poverty
You only know if we have food or none
How clean is our water
How brown is our savanna
Y'know. You think.

But I'm here now.
I'm in your face.
I'm fighting here. now.
Listen. List!EN!
I speak English too. too.
You'll know me now. if you just listen.

Don't assign me to your shadowed streets.
Employ me. In conversation.
Knowledge is transferred.
Imagine how much more you'll know, when you know, my knowledge
