The Curse On My Lineage
In These Days, We Prayed
.
**************************
The Curse On My Linage
Oh linage
I now sit and wonder,
why thou have grown so slow in progress
And wasteful in resources.
Ah!
Then i realize our great forebears
Laid too numerous generational
Curses on us all, curses
That now beat the drums of
Our imminent downfall;
But centuries ago,
People from other tribes, settlements and regions
Couldn't compare our civilization to theirs.
None were as open minded and learned like us.
Brethren from our linage
Were so admired and envied.
Our glory days murdered by hunger...
While other clansmen took advantages
Of every given opportunity to help better
Their brothers and promote tribal unity.
Our rich uncles and aunties grew cold
Towards their own countryman mos
And watch them decline to the statuses
Of house keepers, mild slaves,scammers
For greed and self centeredness
Corrupts absolutely.
Hunger now creeps through the land;
Our land, 'This house is not for sale'
Beware of my first son, Osakue.
Tribalism
Our best excuse yet as a people,
When our growth is compared to others;
Who planted seeds of love,
And are mos reaping it
We promoted self interest
This Curse (HATE)
Our days of reckoning...
GHOPS...
