The Foes Within Poem by Haruna Garba

It is being told over and over
Slick tongues, tricky tongues
Go after pathogens and accidents
They are the foes of the human race
Race itself that wouldn't mind racism
Racism and isms of every sort

It is being shouted now and again
Shady tongues, dubious tongues
Put prize on cancer, fight murrains
To human race the predators they are
Sorghum's amygdalin is ruled out
Pharmacists right on trade wheel

It is being trumpeted times and again
Greedy tongues, salivating tongues
Muffle pipes, cut down those gases
To humanity they are the real threats
But with running engines power holds
And powerful hands steer the world

Power is the truest plague of man
Kill all bacteria and viruses on earth
Miserable man is there to make lives
Worse than bacterium or virus he's
And yells he about annihilating them
Insincere utterances of woeful type

Priests flying jets, followers ever tight
Majority of the colony getting boiled
They get handy for foreign purchase
To wreck havoc on their mother's soil
Alone the foes within can really do
Real damage to fortified home walls
