Ma Jebeh's Children

Ma Jebeh's Children They sit to Redlight, Waterside and Omega, Selling fufu, cornflakes and meat pie, Sometimes even crayfish and chicken thighs, In muddy waters and messy trousers. They have a great dream, But their eyes are being shut from every little gleams, They have told that putting Bible in your pocket, Is that what you were sent for. When one gets a chance to the Mansion, Well he's told that the others are not his blood, But Ma Jebeh's Children will soon break loose, From the oppressor. The ones who seem discerned minded, These the oppressor kills with pleasure, Take their wealth and make it his treasure. -Gabriel T. Saah (Marvelous Inker).
