They Sit Astride My People
Skewered like suya
Left to roast under the
scorching sun of
Servitude,
This people is suffering.
Sun up to sun down they
toil
Premature silver strands
Adorn their crowning
glory.
School bells chime
Classrooms peter out
Pupils invade the streets
Peddling sachet water.
They sit astride this
people
Riding roughshod over them
My people, their beast of
burden
And they show no twinge of
contrition
No iota of compassion.
But how can they?
When they have been
scarred to numbness
By the heat of their own
turpitude
