FORGOTTEN DUTY



No ear to the groan
Of the sick- dying ram,
No eye to the echoing sigh
Of the limping ewe,
The Shepherds picnic
With latest whores in hotel rooms
 Their sticks in deep rest
 On king- size imported mattresses,
And soon the shepherds shall shower
And refreshed for the needed duty
POLISHING MANIFESTOES
For another constituency thumb robbery

Eυeawo miva dzra aʄe ɖo
               Eυeawo miva dzra aʄe ɖo loo
               Ne gbe menyo na ame o
               Aʄe wo yina
               Aʄenya me gloa ame o

Ne wobia tanye se
               Ne wobia tanye se
               Ne ameɖe bia tanye se la
               Gblↄe nawo be meyi aʄe loo

               Nye Mawu ve nunye
              Ye nakplↄm mayi aʄe
