A New Gang In Town Poem by DEDAN ONYANGO

A New Gang In Town



A new Gang rocks this globe
Talk of US, UK, Asia, Africa and the likes:
This Gang kills.
It is well organized; it feeds on man
Whether bourgeoisie or proletariat, whether black or white
It spares none-with its claws it targets the lungs,
The breasts and without shame it goes for fame-
The cervix and prostrate it eats!

This Gang breathes, in food it lives
Whether fresh or stale it must get a chance to steal humanity.
This Gang is breaking records,
The police Men in their white cells turn dark celled,
The Gang fears none!
Whether young or old
The Gang gags you down
It has mastered this act
Yet the children of Adam and Eve
Still grapples with its inflicted pain
Yet no gains on this familiar Gang.
Sadly our towns are rotting away like mushrooms!
