carry your waste Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by akinbo a. a. cornerstone, Nigeria Oct 28, 2006
  Poetry

  

So what?

What if the word the spit
has no value,
and yet they take over
the latrine;

And why?

Why should we complain
about a dignity,
for a man who has
to carry your waste;

if not...

Where do you stand in the wake
of dawn while the work...
and walk to get the diamond from the mud ?

The race is for the voice that counts
at each fingertip....let your finger count.




Akinbo A. A. Cornerstone
