Eat Mangoes
I know I’m bat and bird
other birds chorus to me
hunger, hunger, hunger
Do we have any factory
to manufacture hunger?
look at birds kingdom
they live healthy lives
in the bush they are okay
Does the bat feed them?
If you are dying of hunger
go to the trees, eat mangoes
dream not about food
from gardens and granaries
of human beings with houses
those who are dying, hungry
their five star hotels
are in the generous bush
eat fruits and survive
Yes. I have said them well
I need not a human being
to tell me I’m wrong
