LIFE SONG
My mother taught me saying:
‘Education is better than bread,
Despite hard works fast pay,
In future you will rest.'
‘Education's a contract
Unlike in quick paid labor
Where one rests when they're tired,
You work and stick to it.'
So, on that morning day
My mother held my hands
And took me to the school;
I was a little older than three.
My mother took me then
To the Head mistress' office
And they examined me,
Took me since I could ‘peak'.
After the examination,
They took me to my classroom:
The class I was to be;
It was ‘Primary 1G'.
And then I cried a bit
For having mother leave
And sobbed and pitied self
And sobbed till I did sleep.
Gradually I did learn
To stay alone and learn
Not long I could stay through
From morning till school closed
And some where in my class
We had a nature corner
We had some empty packets
And much of sand as bones.
And gradually I noticed
The teacher make roll calls
And called my name at morn
And called it too at noon.
It was the rule early ;
To keep the assembly.
So was it every morning,
Where we prayed for the day.
