The living dead



Okudo...
Even if I've been buried in this grave,
And the flesh that covered my bones has rotten,
Don't turn my lovely wife into your cave.
You have a home that you seem to have forgotten...

Obiero,
Just because I died and I'm gone,
Don't hunger for the wealth that I left!
I have children who think you are a thorn,
And they'll stub you to death with your theft.

Oluoch!
You who poisoned my drink because of greed,
Just to get the promotion that was mine,
Are you at peace with the fruits of your deeds?
While you dine,  my children are in pine.

I am furious with you mama Ruth,
You're a parrot who never speaks the truth.
You say I had children with you
When I was living, where were you?

As for you Ogolla,
Next time you sneak into my sugarcane plantation.....!
