NEW HOUSE NOT NEW HOME BY____UGWUANYI MICHAEL NNABUIKE

This poem is composed and written by ugwuanyi michael Nnabuike




.

we are all over the city
Being taken away from thatched house to mansion
By the fortunate ones
our thatched clothes are being removed
Dressed on new clothes
On on our way into the city
our heart is swimming Internet ocean of ecstasy
Full basket of rag await us in our promise land
With one tyre made sandals for everlasting tour
Here is our new house not a new home
Tray becomes our shelter
Both in the sun and in the rain
we obey every words of our master
we are messiah to the their little kids
yet we are illiterate to them
We was the washable in the house
yet we remain pig 🐷 to them
we are innocent of all accusation
yet we are guilty of all to them
As toads are prey to snake
so we are to ritualist,Rapist and thieves
we are Hawkers
please our souls
we are in new house not in new home
Night is our working hours
Day is our touring hour
As there is no house for son of man
To rest his head
So we are
Before him
Every one is equal
we all live in a house
The home is up
Above the sky
only the upright we rest in the home
At the end thereof.
