The liar <br />With great desire <br />To have a hair <br />That resembles mine <br />Started when she was nine <br /> <br />But now 20 years later <br />The story is better <br />For she no more wants <br />Any thing that’s mine <br /> <br />She stares at me and looks sad <br />But I am alive not yet dead <br />Got no hair, I am another brand <br /> <br />I got cancer <br />But I seem to be happier <br />Coz my time is much shorter <br />And every day the light gets brighter <br /> <br />June 8,2005<br /><br />Konjit Berhane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/getting-brighter/
