COOKING EATERY FOR THE TERMITIES
Friday Osato Ogbewi 1974 (Edo state)
COOKING EATERY FOR THE TERMITIES
The entire exertion of man is futile
Futility in itself on Earth
Cooking of the eateries for the termites
This is the sweat of man on Earth
He slurps and gobbles
To look good, which is fine
For sizable pan
On the termites table
Working twenty-four hours of the day
To have funds, sweat it out
Sometimes to suit his pocket
Sometimes to suit his ego
The only thing put on is the picture
He snapped to show for life spent in a hurry
Until the call for the ultimate sound
Calling termites to feast on the ultimate eatery.
