TUMMY TAX

 

 

Alexander K Opicho

(Eldoret, Kenya;aopicho@yahoo.com)

 

Kenya; the begotten daughter of your poor mother

Whose children starve and stave hunger in their tummies

Wallowing in mire of food destitution and diverse others

Wondering where to get victuals from as you have none to tax

Kindly look at your state officers the tummies are bulging

Occupying space all over, suffocating neighbours to the fringe

Tax the commonaplace tummies of your state officers

For them are plenty enough to give you revenue

In combat against hunger unto your children
