I have tried and I think I have tried <br />When you fail they are notified <br />When you shout they are silent <br />I will shout to that extent <br />You can live to tell <br />And forget to dwell <br />Among which is most significant <br />And mislead him who is so infant <br /> <br />I have tried and I think I have <br />Yet nothing farsighted I preserve <br />I am confused <br />Do not be amused <br />I have these three quick response letters <br />To my people, enemies and debtors <br />That each time I meet my people, <br />I am confused <br />Each time I meet my enemies <br />I am confused <br />And am going to meet my debtors<br /><br />Masereka Amos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-confused-7/
