I Feel Like We Should Be Children Poem by Ojok Isaac

I feel like we should be children
As young as five
And play this game; cat and mouse
Whence you run as I chase you
When I catch you, eat you like cats eat mice

I feel like we should be children
As young as five
And build our house in the sand
Cook our own food:
clay be posho
and stones be meat

I feel like we should be children
As young as five
And cry when you hurt me
Feel angry with you, tell you
"We aint friends anymore'

But when the sun wakes
We meet and start our play
Smilling and happy with one another
Like nothing happened between us
