Snakes
in schools
Snakes
in the city
The
bites seem familiar
Delay
treatment lost of life
Clean
the compound
Throw
away dry leaves and rubbish
Throw
away empty bins and cups
Stacked
up everything properly
The
city folks are familiar
With
the liars on the corridor
The
dishonesty has no shame
They
still walk proud and arrogant
They
think we owe them plenty
They
forget we are the ones who make or break
The
power in their hands come from us
The
ordinary people fighting to live in harmony
But
the rural folks forget
They
keep up the rubbish and lies
For
a token of a miserable sum
They
forget how to live
We
have to sweep clean the minds
Let
there be a new horizon to climb
Enough
of the one way ticket
We
have to break free
The
snakes on the ground
Lithe away with hungry eyes
Don't
provoke me I will bite
You
don't want it to happen
