ERODED SOIL Once I was told by daddy's daddy Long and long ago in the then times Jingoism was no one but man's buddy Love and honesty were seen primes Planted seeds worm upwardly to glow, To show light and suppress darkness of villainy Like the hammer wielder in the movie of Thor That announces the absence of climate gloomy Ouch! Daddy's daddy now cries a lot and a lot Lately topsoil has been washed away Alas, patriots shamed in man's treacherous plot Like the defeat of the Brazilians in a match slay How pitiful are we in the world of now? Communal labour - a citizen of the past! Cheats, vices: vehicles of our streets, but how? Our greedy heads truth they cast! By: Yussif Hassan Cissey 28th February, 2018 #NojotoQuote eroded soil
