IN THAT VILLAGE OF MINE

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
People do not work
People gossip and eat talk.

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
Women scream 24 hours a day
Those maimed women are beaten black ands blue
Because men aggressiveness have got an outlet

In that village of mine:
If you happen to be there friend of mine
You will never find girls
They were all defiled and ushered
To womanhood at five months
Will be husbandless mothers at ten
Undisputed grandmothers at twenty
And finally greatest grandmothers at twenty-five

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
There is no need to marry
Because your neighbors wife
is in surplus and was your ex!

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
Every child never resemble the father
Because every one has cajoled the mother

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
I do give it an abyss abhorring
Abysmally big bodied, big bellied
Women with unmemorable age
Are shameless boy-mongers

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
Men work at chang’aa dens
Bragging and boasting of sexual escapades
Bring home: monies which never pay fees;
Beatings and bags of STDs to their wives.

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
Youth good-byed school once upon a time
And are the best idlers, drunkards and thieves
These le grand football donators of balls to girls
Know it is the in-group thing

In that village of mine:
Which is like every other village
Poverty is past epidemic
It is pandemic!
