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
