I am a haunted man
My lean and pensive look
an outward reflection
of my restless dreams
I still dream in krio
recalling vividly the
despairing nakedness of
poor homes
a coerced witness
to arrogant inequality
walking with gritted teeth
among the strewn filth
stepping on broken dreams
and fading hopes
my thoughts haunted
with the idea that
for me to escape
requires superhuman strength
a strength stolen
by fear of inability
to rouse myself from this
oppressive dream
I am a haunted man
