All Die Be Die

All die be die
Die poor die rich
All die be die

In the mist of murkiness
Can the air be cleared without the truth
All die be die

With hope in despair and no one behind
The wheels, where lies the future for the youth?
All die be die

The promise of education saddled with debt
And no jobs to pay
All die be die

With many waiting in the wings and
Few will be chosen not because they are
The best or better qualify but because of
Their proximity to power
All die be die

When stewards of society indulge in bribe
Taking as if it is part of their remuneration
All die be die

When sycophants masquerade as advisors
And dance in attendance to politicians for the
Fear of not been able to buttered their bread
All die be die

When the only option for young girls is to use what they
Have to get what they are entitle to (bottom
Power) All die be die

When the centre cannot hold for a common goal
While some feel they are having a raw deal
And the constituent have to identify themselves
In a pocket of groupings
All die be die

When the elite in society feels the common man
Owes them their living
All die be die

When society is churning out religious leaders
Who are more dangerous than the devil himself
All die be die

But is it really true that all die be die?
In the mean time I am enjoying my hausa koko
With masa
