Poem
In a kingdom afar Dispute broke out and transfer Through the land like wild fire Then came an old man with eyes of sapphire With wisdom that equals that of Solomon Without delay he summoned the powerful, high and common First to arrive was the Head, Hand and Leg tribe Then came came Belly and Heart tribe holding plaque, war inscribe "Your strength is in your diversity," Thus speaks the wise old man "There has to sincerity To coexist in this blessed clan" The head Tribe grumbled and boast "We play the best role so we deserve the biggest share, Without my brothers mouth, brain, eyes and nose the tribe is unquestionably lost, So if we ask for more it is thus fare" "Nonse" Shouted the Hand With a thundering Clap "Unbelievable" barked the Leg clan With a quaking stamp "Selfish" belowed the Heart tribe With a forceful pump "Thats appropriate heart" screamed the Belly Clan With a rumbling yup Amidst the uproar The old man voice's soar Calming The Fury That blinded their reasoning in a hurry "Great men without vision, Thy strength is in thy cohesion A race without its head, Associates with the dead A tribe without its hands, will only lag behind A clan without its legs, its first choice is to beg A tribe without is heart, Cease to enjoy breath Its our belly that stores the taste of life, From its bank we gather strength to laugh A nation in turmoil, Is never free from boil" So the wise man verbalize While they sat and gaze "All leaders of all tribe Hide not under ethnic patronage For your show of intrest is only gibe The cause of this strife is the result of your pillage Inhibit your greedy bowels for a year See if grasses won't grow in this desert But I know what you all fear That the commoners will get wiser if they have a sniff of your dessert Which man will you spear that will not bleed? Can a lamb survive in the mist of wolves? This nation is in discord cause of your deeds Your children are in safe haven while others in ignorance lose their lives For the sake Of unity show patriotism Shun ethnic jargon and favoritism Uphold Justice This land will know peace"
