Oily Men's Song Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Oily Men's Song

Rating: 2.8


We want to oil the heads of oily men only;
We have no oil for those having no oil at all.

We want to declare again and again
The owners and traders of oil
Are our relatives and friends.

Those who are poor and beggars,
Who are going to embrace death,
Are none to us;
They have no value on earth.

The rich dominate with power and success as a symbol of corruption and greed! The poor become forgotten in a world that makes money their God! Great write!
