Opportunists Poem by DEDAN ONYANGO

This world I live is full
Of opportunists
Ready to pounce on me
When the aroma of my success
Comes their way.

This world i live is full
Of opportunists
Ready to call me 'Son'
Yet during my childhood
Growth they pretended to be busy
I say no!

This world i live is but full
of opportunists
Ready to call me 'My long time son'
Yes! that is true to be false
Now i am all grown up
Is when they show up!

This world is but full
of opportunists
Who only show up when
The meal is on the table
Yet non took part in its preparation
To hell with them!

This world i live is full
Of pretenders
who live and dine in mediocrity
That is no business of mine
I have got miles to cover now
I am dusting them out!

This world is funny
When you are about to reach your destination
They all want to be part of the journey
To taste the honey
Which their sweat never accompanied!

This world is but full of opportunists
who are tainting the image of the real
Opportunists.

This world is full
Of opportunists!
