I Tell You! Poem by Ibrahim Bidu

I pay you
though grumbling at times
I told you,
And I know you know too
I go hungry to fatten you
And all this I do
To let you serve me with undivided attention.
So on whose account, tell me,
Do you squander, slander
And commit blunders?
So whose wishes, tell me,
Do you fulfill
When you steal
And on my doorstep fill filth?
So I tell you, listen!
For you have nothing to tell me
Humble thyself
Or you will face the sack!
