Rafiki my Friend
Rafiki my friend
Who always asks for more
Rarely satisfied
With what he has been given.
He follows me incessantly
Telling many stories
Rarely true
Buying him attention of those listening.
Rafiki my friend
Taught me many songs
Hoping to dance together
Dances unknown he saw in his dreams.
Rafiki is friends with the sun and stars
Yearning for freedom
He thinks I can award him
With shining pennies in limitless amounts.
Money blinds, love binds.
