Boys Talk Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

A girl passes by
Straight and deep in thought
Too many issues rumbling in the head
Stay dumb
You lack home training
You cannot greet
Who is your mate here
She lacks respect
Fine for nothing
She lacks home training
Na so make dem no dey see husband
Nonsense!

Oh a girl whose mother is sick
Whose father is in jail
Whose brother is starving
Who is hopeless of where school fees will come from
A girl whose lecturer just victimized
A girl whose problem is mightier than Nigeria's.

Do you eat good morning?
Is good afternoon perfume?
Does good evening increases your bank account?
What is in fact good in M-A-E?

Mind brain are occupied
To greet may be the least of concern
Have sense and stop the harassment
Greetings do not add nor remove
from you.
It is even disturb to those who are not idle and lazy.

-Okoemu: The Rabbi
