There is a never dying plantain plant
Which is rooted in the centre
Of a coast initially golden
When it is cut down, other shoots emerge
When it is uprooted, new shoots succeed
Funny, how a plantain drains
And never ceases to create holes of mouthings
Holes of horrid deceits
Holes of disappointments
Holes of pauperhood
Wogesadjement plantains!
Know your time to feed is now
And not the future of feeding soil
So coil from being omnivorous centipedes
Who feed on their own bodies!
