Bantu Poem , Shahiri Mussabwa 18

You work well, 
Getting much money , 
You throw seventy percent,
-------------------------------------------------
Of your salary into the river
Wantonly while your kids 
And wife are suffering so much. 


June 15th 2023

When a Bantu man 
Valued alcohol 
And prostitutes 
more than his family. 

Other way , 
Using much 
Money on useless things
Than concentrating to
Prepare your future.
