Brotherly Hate Poem by Tony Adah

In those days
School was free of tuition
Free of room and board
They ate fat and after school
A Peugeot car and job placement
Were waiting for them.

We washed their clothes
And ironed them with charcoal iron
They wore them and strut like Kings
We swept the house
And made the six spring beds
With white cotton sheets.

Our country then was brimming
With wealth
They abandoned a car if it
Had a dent and bought a brand new one
They wasted our wealth.

When it's our turn
They ate our food
And tortured us
We couldn't even dream
Our dreams died before
We went to our beds.
