Analysis of Blood!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
You are a liquid, red in color
That I discovered when I cut myself
As I was trying the tough
Chicken gizzard to tear
At school they tell me you contain
Many constituents
Solids in fact, though minuscule
Still I wonder how solids can
Flow like liquids
They say you keep me moving
By keeping on moving through my body
Do you mind telling me, whether when
I move you keep on bumping?
If you are so special to me
Until without you I end up a cadaver
Why when I release you it is
Always pain you bring to me?
