AGRICULTURE BY ANOTHER NAME

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

Agriculture is our mainstay
And there is no doubt about that
That is what spices up lovers’ meetings
And silences all one-syllabled speech makers
Even if blackberries and strawberries have been halved
We still want our farm machinery
We need tractors, harvesters and grading machines
We also need storage facilities for perishable products
Shall you all stand with us?
Shall you give us a hand?
Shall you make our dreams come true?
