Unique (Not Of This World)

Israel Chinonye Uche 1957 (Aba)

Epic
I live in this world
but, not of this world;
I interact with men
yet of a different stuff
I look at something
but can't find
anything meaningful

There is something in me
something in me
that makes me different
that makes me unique.

About this poem
