Eye
by Aminat Yusuff

I do not rise to the clamor of war
I do not to the silence of nothingness 
I do not lie in the cave of the eager hyenas
I do not stand in the den of the lion
I do not drink from the stream where pigs feed
I do not eat in the same plate with the unclean hands
I do not have my head in my heels
I do not hate my reflection
I do not sit while I ought stand
I do not sleep while I ought wake
I do not have a fulfilled day unless I bless the name of the Lord.
