Only Birds of the Same Feather…
Abu-Ubaida Sani 1993 (Bauchi)
If to you they make hey,
Or refused, try and know why,
Stupids are known as stupids,
The wise are the well-known stupids,
If to you they make hey,
Or refused, try and know why.
You must be good for been a bank,
And shall always ends thank,
If it is dustbin you have been,
Accepting refuse, your values are seen,
If to you they make hey,
Or refused, try to know why.
If you think, together, with a mind,
Or just fool the ass of been his kind,
You are then good and make no mistake,
To the dark, your company, many will partake.
If to you they make hey,
Or refused, try to find why.
Hmm! The good knows good,
The anti-goods, do not know the good?
So, be good to good and bad to bad,
For been you stupid to stupid end glad,
If to others they make hey,
And not you, have you pondered why?
