The Jerk

       
 By Mory Keita

He is the jerk, dream of girls.

He is the charming prince in their reveries,

The bold superman who knows how to care.

They love him because he is manly,                                                          

And he loves them because they love him.

Yeah, he is the jerk, the man.

He is the one who knows how to woo girls.

He is one who makes them cry tears of love at nights.

Yeah, he is the king, the boss of their hearts.

He holds the key to female’s hearts,

And jealously keeps its secret with malice.

He walks like a star, and speaks like a dork.

Look! He is the master of the game.

The chess-player who has mastered mind-games;

Yeah, he is the jerk the best at his game.

He has learned that a girl’s heart his a chess game,

So he has become a dauntless chess player.

He deceitfully manipulates its 16 pieces like a "real man".

Sometimes, I envy the jerk and his jerky tricks;

Truly, he is a skilful master of psychology.

For, though he is a bloody manipulative “bad boy”,

He has earned the dreams of men : women’s hearts.

To be "cool"

         By Mory Keita

To be cool like the old gangsters:

Put your pants down the butt,

Become a loud desperate attention seeker,

A know-everything fellow,

A tabloids lover and books’ nemesis,

Listen to rap and senseless music,

Wear in vogue sneakers and T-shirts,

Be clueless about the world,

Become rude to any one different from you,

Utter profanities non-stop,

Enjoy your life and nothing else,

Cut school on a weekly basis,

Make cool friends not nerds and geeks,

Party at least twice a week,

Go along with the fun and give up anything boring,

Smoke marijuana, drink alcohol to feel high,

Try to fit in as much as you can,

Look your best under the sky,                             

Hang out with friends the whole day,

Think about the present and it only,

Go home at 1:30 am and then ask yourself,

“What have I done with my day?”

To be "cool"
