THE LUCKLESS ONE

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I`ve told you he`s not in
So, why waste your time?
Haven`t you got anything else to do?
Or are you only thinking of your rotten yams?
What if the landowner suddenly returns
And demands the licence fee?

Do you know you look like a fish without a fin
And a monk without a dime?
When the rains come, what shall you do?
Shall you hold a retreat at STAMS?
Or shall you just sit there and watch as Cameroon burns?
At such times, will you even think of the Holy See?
