My Countrymen. Poem by Tony Adah

My Countrymen.



My country men
Our bounties of green
Land, blue waters and
What the earth holds for us
In its stomach will never end
Take only that that sustains
Your breath and leave the rest
For posterity.

Abstain from greed
Abstain from greed
Abstain from greed
My country men
For greed
Leads to the grave!
When you go to the other side
You won't see what you amassed
Eschew greed
My countrymen.
