I AM WHO, I AM BY FATAI ISMAIL OMOBOLAJI


I am who, I am 

A boy created from a clot of blood 
Bath with dark hot oak tree water
Raised under nature where air it breathes is a competition 
Taught with brute force to understand it’s  environment 
Survive or be forgotten about, is the song my society listen to
I am who, I am

Am a boy with the senses of man 
I am my mother smile and my father figure 
I am my brother shadow and my sister fondness 
I am my friend happiness 

I am who, I am

You asked me again who I am
I am the star if I am not the sun
I am the elephant if I am not the lion 
I am the bush if I am not the tree 
I am the track if I am not the train
If I am not the highway then I am the trail

I am who, I am
