"Opinions" by Offor Patience

You think I'm jack of all trades, I know I'm versatile
You think I'm desperate, I know I'm conscious
You think I'm a learner, I know I'm a Pro
You think I'm quiet, I know I'm reserved
You think I'm dull, I know I'm thinking
You think I'm not organised, I know I'm creative
You think your opinion counts, I know it DOESN'T!

I talk about wealth,
You think money
I talk about joy,
You think pleasure
I talk about health,
You think It's being robust
I talk about knowledge,
You think Education
I talk about children,
You think noise
I talk about marriage,
You think bondage
I try to work,
You try to mock.
