Breaking Bricks
Breaking bricks are many in this project
no one can build a strong house with them
all the clay got to make bricks in this land
crack and fall when joined to build house
Brick makers know their skills in bad job
paraffin they pour on wood to bake bricks
they burn and produce beautiful bricks
customers who see them shine pay in haste
Often brick makers leave rain to soak clay
and gather them to bake with big logs
but when masons use them to erect walls
whole structure crumbles down in thunder
Brick makers, why mislead constructors?
masons, why do you use breaking bricks?
can’t you search for stones to do good job?
are your minds too dull, too numb to reason?
Building houses with weak bricks in the morn
destined to crumble in the evening same day
is playing in the sand as children do in play
they build but none lives in the sand bungalows
Resolve to be wiser than the ordinary wise
Take time and choose best building stones ×2
