Poem
Reject If you today set your sails The boisterous currents called “reject” Blowing from the people’s anger and wails Wallowing in usury and neglect Betrayed trust and hopes facing fails Innocent of cause but guilty of effect Will blow you where the desire hails To making finding reprieve the project There’s insatiable appetite to take But there’s a limit to the give We baked this national cake And of its partaking we were positive As it cooked you pinched stake by stake Asking for more and making believe That in the cooking fire’s wake It shrunk and so less we achieved You want our money and patience Try telling it to the pangs of the nation You quench the last drop of our resilience And only a pushback will you occasion You make hard any honour or obedience And make many transgress even religion You rob Godliness of prominence From whom you got your ordination If God in heaven sets up the earth And all that inhabit To turn on His foes His wrath Will you be exempt from it? Is righteousness the name of your path? Is God’s Word the lamp of your feet For your countrymen just can’t math the math And so they address you from the street Change your way while you can Serve them today, they’ll serve you forever Humble pie never choked a man They only ask you don’t stifle endeavor You kill them, you kill your plan And the doom threatens to be forever When you are banished by your own clan Signing out a man who fell out of favor
