Geography, asked by nandhananidhi707, 10 hours ago

Dressed in suits and tatters, Bowties, tights, ochred sheets and earrings, All thinking of things to come, Africa is in a state of opportunity, All look for easy chances. Of self-upliftment or undeserved promotion That often mirage further and further Making frustrate Minds that should be content It is a time of opportunity- When one line makes a poet And a little acquaintance or chance Rockets one to the highest office But the peasant, the pillar of the nation, Has only to cope with prices that shift Like the waves that rock the ship carrying yellow maize to the city. The employed call out strikes That only deplete the little funds That may relieve the peasant- The elder brother keeps the younger in hunger At home, if there’s any, The child plays with an empty bottle, Cries for more milk When the cost is daily on the rise While the incomes remain static And the higher brackets are daily filled By youths that will not retire Within this century. The child laughs gaily, Displaying its only four teeth That show it grows to eat, Unaware of all that shapes her decade Adapted from a poem by Joseph G. Mutiga
