Everyone

By Wamweni Shamambo

 

If everyone does it,

I gotta do it

If everyone has it,

I gotta have it

 

To where do they wander,

I do not know

But if everyone goes there

I’ll just follow

 

Milk and honey

These things do not last

But if everyone craves it

I must fill up fast

 

If everyone loves it,

I gotta love it

If everyone resembles it,

I gotta resembles it

 

Top of the charts

Lyrics and rhymes

When everyone goes wild

I dare not forget the lines

 

They’re on the cover

And up on the screens

If I do not sport it

I’ll be an oddball it seems

 

If everyone feels it,

I gotta feel it

If everyone lives is,

I gotta live it

 

A moment of heaven is promised

It’ll be no chore

Everyone’s had a taste of it

I must have more

 

Everyone

Everyone

Everyone

Everyone

 

Who am I?

A mere reflection of man?

Am I everyone?

Living an unknown plan

 

What life is this?

This lie that I’m living

The world is my master

I’m out of touch and dreaming
