Farce
Alliston George Samuel 1976 (Port of Spain)
To see yourself disappear,
After so many stole why you shine.
Now this one, that one and the other
Claiming your work: mine.
That's what they do not get about leaders,
Why not include the lot?
What those with good intentions fail to realize:
The enemy will take your insults,
The enemy will take your work as well.
The enemy has no problem taking,
The enemy gives nothing but heartache,
Heartbreak.
If the enemy can?
The enemy will blame you for them being:
The type of being who will not say: I am..
