The Jostle Of Greed Poem by Kingsley Egbukole
The Jostle Of Greed
The crown they know I know
And the community too
It is for a head
They know
I know
The community too
The head is in the chain
We know
Why then the jostle
For the crown they know I know
And the community too
Who wears the crown?
They know
I know
The community too
But greed keeps the truth obscure
How much longer conscience suffers?
Who knows?
Not they
Not I
Not the community
Maybe till ancestors cause darkness at noon
And many sleep permanently still
To caution other on truth
