By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I know the game
But not through the telephone
That`s why when I read Volpone
I limp as if I were lame.

We have everything
But we have nothing
Because of our greediness
And our aloofness.

UNLEARNED LESSONS

He came
He toiled
And he left
We listened
We felt sleepy
And we slept.

A CUP FOR SAINT PETER

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I wouldn`t for the life of me
Accept a beret
Berets are the next thing to death
I prefer Fez caps
St. Peter wore them
But mind you
You`re not St. Peter.

UNLEAVENED CATTLE

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

Iced sauce pans are not the best option
Unless you`re thinking of flying saucers
So if want to break even
Don`t sell your goat with the leash.

LIFE OF FEAR

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I didn`t mishear
He threatened my life
In a world where sudden deaths are rife
I had every reason to fear.
