Our Daily Bread

Give us our daily bread . . . We shall not mind if we Have a daily milk, Neither shall we take offence If we have a daily butter to match. Who amongst you will give his child A stone if he demands for a bread? Who amongst you will offer her child A serpent if she request for a manner? Legion ,they are today in the globe. Who is holding down our daily bread? Who is hoarding our daily milk? Who is selling our God given freely manner? The men with Capital in all our capitals The men with the tyrannical order of Capital The men enslaving us for more Capital Even in the nooks and crannies of rural towns As hunger and poverty hovers round the cities Even amidst unprecedented Capitals. The more we gnash our teeth crying for our Daily bread given by Jehovah Jireh The more they replaced it by daily stone. The more we complain of hunger to Jehovah The more they laugh at us and replace our Daily bread with splotch of taste and famine, For they known we are springy to sufferings. The more we lament of the men in Capital The more they turn our daily bread to serpent Striking us forcefully even in hunger. The more we beg of them for Capital The more they kill us for surplus value For their fiendish drive for more profit . Tell the men at work to beg no more Tell the men in Capital we shall beg no more Tell the men at work to arise and unite And stop them and their unending lush luxury To forge ahead to the barricade and Seize the mace off the corridor of their hands. Then ,only then, we shall experience hunger no more And our daily bread shall be “tead” and “buttered”.
