A Meal to Live

Let me see what's left,

Crumbs for the dogs, meant for men.

Let me see what they've kept,

Soup for the dead, stored for us to eat.

Our bones need to live

To feed on good thing to keep us for the day

Obiagu " take and eat and live again"

Our very close proud neighbor exclaim

If we live to see today

I will let you know how we are loosed to hunt for a day bread

Working to eat like the ant

Selling our strength under the sun for the price

I pity to see Obiagu beg for thesame bread

But I need to learn something quickly

It can turn and I will loose the timing

I need to learn their fall

The sky need to deliver the rain

So we can call it a season

Let everyone plant now

Let us wait for another harvest
