The tomb is democratic,
humility in plenty it has,
hospitality is assured.
All types of people enter
and dwell with no visas,
no deportation is done
no tribalism in service
the noble last kingdom
It is best refugee camp,
best tourist destination,
the best for investment,
where taxes are not paid
corruption is unknown,
hurricanes cannot reach.
It’s a democracy built on
mutual trust of those
who were both teachable
and ineducable.
When you’re in Africa be African
The power of crocodile is in the water
Life’s a fog; eat the wisdom of the sages
The ineducable carries shame in his buttocks
The dog attacks one with torn trousers
A lion that hunts for rats is no hero at all
However hot your anger is it can’t boil an egg
A boat can’t go forward if each rows his own way
If you’re dancing with rivals close no eye
Ignorance is a form of environmental pollution
A quiet baby dies on its mother’s back and;
Goats collect their debts when the lion breaks its leg
A dog does not chew the bone tied around its neck
Never allow the striker to shave your wounded head
If you wear grass clothes never sit near glowing fire
Importantly, be a lion for a day than a sheep for ever
