Bantu Poem, Shahiri Mussabwa 6

When a millionaire 
Wants to prey on you 
And you reject his offer 
_______________________

To do your own thing. 
You will become a living
Dead on this earth.

Message:
The little progress 
Of some  poor people always 
Be the threats into the eyes 
of majority rich people 
Because of egoism 
And secret jealous. 
Majority rich people have 
The principle to take advantage
Of poor people in their entire lives
To remain poors. 
Killing poor people who refuse
To obey their principles always 
Be the best option to cause 
Fear among poor nations 
And continue exploiting them.
