—-THE HUSTLER—–<\/p>\n
Just when his ear
\nCatches the waves of the cock crow
\nHe wakes up sparing his teeth
\nHe walks from afar on the street
\nJust when he’s sacked from a wooden piece<\/p>\n
”Eno be now oo” Is the term
\nSun shines,rain falls
\nYet his coins he holds firm
\nHe gathers ’em like the weeds
\nBut the owner comes for it in turn<\/p>\n
Tears drop and fast dry
\nLice lick his intestines
\nAll energy now fly
\nBut changing positions of people’s assets
\nHe never tried<\/p>\n
His sweats fall on leafless tree
\nAnd his water is bitter like the ”nim-tree”<\/p>\n
He receives the best of promises
\nYet same heartache he feels
\nThe same yam he peels
\nBut wait! He’s got a wall to lean
\nYes! No matter what he feels–a day shall pay!
\n”The MAKER heals”<\/p>\n
