By Baba G. Jallow
I’m very lucky
Said the arrogant ruler
And ground his teeth
You are very lucky
Said the sycophants
And they all went on to fantasize
Just lucky he was
The arrogant ruler
We ask for it
We get it
We waste it
Said the arrogant ruler
No more driving through palaces
Is what happens
When it is all wasted
The power
I want that mountain moved
And I want it now
Said the arrogant ruler
And showed his back
They saw he was not serious
And continued dancing
Ends
