You Should Know People Poem by Faraj Nyandiko

I am a rich man's nightmare,
And a poor man's welfare.
I am your childhood dreams paired,
And all your fears squared.
I am the electrons in a covalent bond,
And the protons in an atomic bomb.
I am that attraction in a honeycomb,
And the stoppage stings to James Bond.

I am the secret you'll never tell,
And the wish many will have in hell.
I am that salt in your cruet,
And the sugar in every poet.
I am true love and hate blended,
All attributes of humanity reloaded.
I am a man and a third,
A genetically digitalized lad.

I am a dead man walking,
If not for the grace of I am who I am.
