Poetry : Ungrateful People

These thoughts are a limited edition so pay attention

You wake up to the chirping birds like it's our own invention

Walking with half sleepy eyes straight to the kitchen

Biting into grilled chicken and watching the ceiling

Kissing your teeth and lying in the heat on the beach

Growing fat like a leech and wearing Gucci

Sexing for the name of it and living like dogs

Having no appreciation for the rainbow

But I bet a tsunami will make you bow

Ignoring the stars when they show

Whiles kids rot in caves since the rebels open fire in the streets

Dropping the sachet in the gutter because the street sweeper still sweeps

Sleeping on the job in the name of public service

Having the guts to chastise the instruments of justice

When we have "illegal" as our middle names

Exploiting the meek for our selfish gains

 Getting high on weed and cocaine

As though  every roll drops development into your brain

It takes defeat to appreciate success

So if you are not ready to learn this lesson take a recess

Let Sudan be the lecturer and Rwanda will be the T.A

Liberia can be the Head of Department as we prepare for this damned enrollment

Sierra Leone will lead the group discussion

Before we are hit with this concussion

Every action causes a ripple so lets be careful…

Before we are tagged as an *Ungrateful* people… It's that simple.
