WANNA BE A CHILD AGAIN

It alright to lay still for a long time

Listening to songs as it hits hard

Striking cords in your emotional world

Transporting you to another zone

But as a child, what do I know?

I had no regrets, just fearless as the wind

sweping through everywhere

With none to fear

 Playing in uncompleted buildings

Hunting lizards and squirrels 

Playing police and thief

Hide and seek

Making paper boats and placing it in a flowing streams

Making paper planes, light up the butt as we fling it in the air

Watching it crash land

Making mouthful sounds of its exploding

Going into the bush to hunt for grasshoppers

Plucking pawpaw and cashew 

Stepping on soldier ants

Regretting the day we were born

Purposefully storing up your urine clothes for days

Sneaking out during curfew to dig up earthworms

Gathering sticks and empty cans

Vegetable soup prepared for lunch

Throwing stones on roofs as signals

Tying wrapper around the neck imitating superman

Climbing sofa and jumping on beds for wrestling

Adrenaline pumps always in excess

All these memories

The good old days

Just here reminiscing what's gone

But can never be forgotten
