Eyoh Etim
happy in dependence
that’s what you are
oh sleeping giant
comfortable in your coma
relaxing in recession
playing the blame game
shirking responsibilities
living a lie
married to propaganda
bound to untruths
given to insincerity
driven by greed
happy in dependence
that’s what you are
oh drunk and snoring giant
intoxicated with corruption
inebriated with fanaticism –
in ISIS-like religion and in divisive politics
. . . when will you awake?
