Edward Kofi Louis - Understand These Things

Men on credit,
Does it pay to be kissed today? !
Women on credit,
Does it pay to be loved today? !

It's name is often it's aim,
It's idol is often it's call,
It's word is often it's work,
It's flight is often it's fight,
It's move is often it's mode,
It's act is often it's art,
It's drink is often it's liquid,
It's body is often it's board,
It's county is often it's country,
It's play is often it's pay,
So open up your minds and try to understand these things.

I am outside the mind of my imaginations and,
I am outside the sphere of our influence;
But my mind and my attitudes are towards you and this world!
For, our humble pies will help others in need too.

To show the care of love and peace,
And of the colours that matches with a mark;
But, it's face colour is often it's book!

It's news is often it's message,
It's source is often it's growth,
It's hair is often it's age,
It's eye is often it's signal,
It's food it's often it's body,
It's class is often it's rom,
It's home is often it's bed,
It's bag is often it's bread,
And with question marks to understand this world!
But, open your minds and try to understand these things.
