to gold, metal of value
inestimable
to a talent, rare
but, diversified

to she who led me
through the white mans brain
my thoughts have changed
and dreams
no longer same

tell me,
who had bathed in the great niger
and, yet remained unclean
more, could i not prostrate

but,
who can pay back to
a stream
with a bowl full of water
