Their faces shone with smiles

Laughter that never sinks into the heart

Right hand giveth

Left hand struck the blow

We are shown meat

Scorpion is the gift

Jacuzzi is their pool

Saliva we bathed

Praises before their table

Daggers between our backs

AC is the breeze

Mango tree is our relaxation spot

Carrying charcoal pots

They sit in a circle of burgers

While we form a triangle of puff puff beggars

Jeeps and Limos with much entourage

Keke na pep and barrow are our flourishing fleets

Leggidis put our feet to travel

Though we are brave

Yet to unravel the mystery

Even in chemistry

We pray for daily bread

They are after manna

Begotten children without manners,

Doctors are quick to dispense drugs

While dibia won’t remove herbs from our medication

Dubai jewelries are part of their fashion

Aba shoes are our connection

They built mansions guarded by akpu-obis

We live in face me I face you

Dragging pots of soup with rats and cockroaches

Police is their friend

We bail out our necks with twenty naira

Their children are educated

Our children are school rated

They dine in hotels

Our dinner ends up between the coolers of mama put

Occasions call them the true champs

Our kinsmen are yet to recognize us.
