ALÁGEMO

-

The colourful lizard
That silently creep in my father's yard
No noise here,  no noise there
Its movement is not a pendulum swing 
But its colour is confusion there and here
Like a bat with claw and wing.

Alágemo 
The facade of change 
Dawdling towards the chain
Unlike the frog hopping in the mud
Or the vagabond Cain.
Who care for Abel's age? 
Maybe,  those whom fast money had driven wud.

Alágemo 
Four years A4 paper earner 
With his akubay knocking the floor
Too gentle to reject the office's offer
Man go chop is the vibrate tone 
No sleep at night, he must use Solotone. 

Alágemo 
Not a taxi driver, a Corolla driver
Next bustop is half a century money
Man must chop and pray in flat
No violence with the man in black
The grease must not ‘rob' the palm. 

Alágemo 
The head has defiled the rule 
Who will talk? 
Not even Solomon
The black head with white brain. 

Alágemo 
Imam has raped the soul of the mosque 
Hallelujah in satanic church
Nobody must hop like frog 
Cos the gods are silent in our case.
