He understands the language of his ancestors.
He weaves his words to entangle the heart and mind.
His tales unfathomable.
Untold neither to the Turkana boy nor today’s man.
I have covered distances out stretching the hemispheres.
Collecting minerals and precious stones
Beyond the Rivers of Ethiopia.
Selling my merchandise to those of high echelon.
I have wined and dinned in palaces decorated with gold and diamonds.
The lands belonging to Princes and Princesses I have a Lion share.
Their maidens have served me.
What I tell you is true so believe.
My wealth the unlearned cannot quantify.
I can buy you everything you want.
You will lack nothing not even a second life.
I will place you in a house with many hands ready to serve you.
I will build for you a mansion
On a planet yet to be discovered.
And I will name it after you.
Please stay with me alone and forever.
I will love you like no other.
Even though I have not a memory
I am dreaming of a new world with you.
