Happy Is The Malawian Poem by Thomas Duncky

Happy is the Malawian whose fate
No politician nor religious con dictates
Who with tireless labour his family feeds every day
And with honest trade his bills pay

Blissful is the Malawian whose land
Suffices him without having to beg from the politician's filthy hand
Who when politics and con religions cease
His wealth from his land would continue to increase

Free is the Malawian whose life
Owes nothing to the dirty game
Long as he feeds his children and wife
Politics can return from whence it came

Patriotic is the Malawian i say
Whose loyalty is to his country
Who to no politician with a fat wallet prays
Or his homage to any political party pays

Honourable is the poor Malawian
Who in-spite of his poverty robs not another man
Dishonourable though might be
The man who robs his constituent poorer than he

An obedient Malawian is the one
Whose obedience bends solely on the constitution
And neither worships, bootlegs nor fears the wrath of someone
For he obeys not a person but the law guiding his nation

God fearing is the Malawian who Alone, with his God prays in private
Whose religious values and norms never allows him to mingle in cash-gates
And finds no solace of any form
In religiously patronizing a secular state on the public platform!

Above all is the Malawian whose priority
Is to enjoy his life and precious liberty
Who never dreams of meddling in dirty politics
Lest he falls prey to its dirty tricks!
