Polanyi Posted April 30, 2011 Some old Stuff I found in the heritage archives. I never got round to finishing it: Traveller Ever since I was a child, my mind has been searching, travelling, Kind of like journeying to china and learning mandarin By the time, I was 10 my brain was grabbling with two different cultures Mom was battling to save me from those so-called vultures At school, they started telling me about Anne Boleyn and Roman sculptures So I rebelled with corrupted Jamaican slang and started acting like a loser Now, am 14, my mind is travelling further than Ibn Batuta It travels with a limp from side to side Different cultures collide I am Somali, but I speak like a cockney, mixed with a bit of yardie Went travelling back home, but my elders mocked me Poet Enginer Emir Admiral Emir Karl Polanyi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
