Famine


The cows have gotten thin here 
And dusty the cool air 
The tap don't rush like in the city 
To wash our dusty gloom hair 

No clean water at thirsty mornings 
Do we 'do' the dew 

The turn up was poor at the last new yam festival 
Our uncles chose clubs 
I haven't learnt to dance atilogwu or other ethicals
My sisters are local snubs 

They say our traditional songs are boring 
So after the reggae they play the blues 
Our mothers aren't the role models anymore 
The Kardashians are soaring 

Our fathers talk of plagues among the youths 
But I see them healthy 
They talk about them very poorly 
I see them wealthy 

The famine in our lands do not attack the foods 
The famine in our lands make the youth fools
