Gift Of Curses

They have started
Giving their principal
Gift of curses.

They can no longer
Bear with the pains
He has blessed them with.

I once told Omenuko
That this journey
Would be futile
But he wouldn't listen.

He saw his boss
As the best thing
That has happened
To this land blessed
By nature
But cursed by man.

It is just some months
They put their heads
To support their boss.

When it is two
Years from now
Who knows the gift
They would give
Their boss.

Remember,
I told Omenuko
That this journey
Would be futile

But he was selfish
With his support
Of his boss.
