The selfish Ogenga


Ogenga wants me to die
a malnourished man.
He wants me to walk with torn shoes
While he covers his sagging belly in
Imported Italian suits.

When I told Ogenga to pay my debt
Yesterday,
Ogenga told me that his new iPhone
Has fallen in a swimming pool.
That he has used a lot of money to repair it.
Ogenga then left before I could tell him
That I need to bail my sick sister
Out of hospital.

Ogenga wants me to die a troubled man.
Last night when my landlord
Locked my house and
Chased me outside his compound,
Ogenga's new car
Splashed stagnant water
On my face as it sped off towards
The direction of a pub.

When I followed Ogenga the pub,
I saw him nursing the buttocks
Of a harlot with piles of notes.
When I approached Ogenga and asked
Whether he is in a position to settle my debt,
Ogenga turned big head the other way
And said he is not.

He said "well meet tomorrow"
And winked to his harlot
As I left the pub with my sorrows.
