Soliloquy Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

He says he is a self-made millionaire
I never knew that millions could grow in one's backyard garden
Even with that, I still struggle to see how one could be self-made
Piped water is treated and pumped by someone else
Well he tells me he worked hard to achieve all that success
Then if hard work paid that much, farm workers would be millionaires
A ride on the ego's train headed into vanity
Avarice and self-centeredness, the prime time show
