A
So the gig is that you dig to win big
And the big is that you act like a pig
…which re-wallows in its own rig
…eating into itself without feeling it
…until the needy feelings sit
B.
People of money
You wear wisdom wigs
Only that the hair on the cap emerges not from your scalp
So you wear what fits
…others, and forget your very own fits
…what sits beneath
C.
Because why in Odomankoma’s name do you seek big name
…and fame
While soiling your good waters just to get a wealthy frame?
Oh why?
Why do you cut fans of life
…to force the sun to burn beings
…without shades, all in the name of shiny things
…that others buy to themselves beautiful and build?
D.
Tell me
Would you love to eat poison with full pockets
…filled with gold?
What makes you bold?
Do you want to drink mud waters
…like lost pigs in your quest to be rich?
Do tell,
…do you think your wealth would be better suited as food
…for your greedy stomachs?
E.
A time will come
And don’t let that time meet you and yours
When waters will hold swords to kill your bodies
…and that of other bodies
A time will come
When foods will poison your bodies
…and other bodies in a payback for all you’ve done
A time will come
When those monies will act stones
…begging to be thrown at yourselves
…for quick deaths
But even the energy to do that will climb the highest mountains
…and look down on you and your sick lands
F.
For minds which think in the interest of others end up gobbled
And heads which work not on their own lands
…become contraband
If eyes and ears sit on thinking bodies
…let them wear reason
…and model sense
To prioritize their lands instead of senseless wealth
…which destroy health and lands and all
