Said one full mouth to the other:
“It’s terrible how the poor suffer
How they break and they toil
No bread their hunger to buffer.”
Wailed the other to the one:
“Do you see how young girls get raped
And pregnant to their houses
They return with shame?”
Cried one to the other:
“And the boys now so lazy
Connecting with their ‘big-boyhood’
And getting down with women sexy!”
Observed the other to the one:
“The old men don’t get their pensions
After all their years of camelling
Their tables have no rations!”
Moaned the one to the other:
“Women now sell their bodies
Under the guise of dating
Their disgrace earns them jewelry.”
Complained the other to the one:
“The government has core no more
Chop chop and clean mouth
That’s the flag they’ll die for.”
Exclaimed one to the other:
“Religion is now a business
Turning in profit for profit
Thus they sell their graces!”
Grunted the other to the one:
“There is no more culture
Out of date and place
Now ‘civilization’ we nurture.”
Rejoiced the full mouths to each other:
“Let us toast to our fullness
Let the world fall about our ears
At least, we have life’s goodness!”
