Reaping Where They Have Not Sown Poem by Qiniso Mogale

They rob people their hard earned money
They steal people's hard earned money
They steal their life's savings
They defraud them of their life's savings
They reap where they have not sown.

The governments rob us with exorbitant taxes
Government officials squander these taxes
They inflate their own bank accounts
In churches pastors commit day light robberies
They instruct congregants to sweep clean their accounts in offerings in return for God's blessings
They sell prayers
They sell what they call 'holy water' and olive oil
Churches have since become trading areas
They reap where they have not sown.

In the streets are common thieves or thugs
They wait in dark street conners to pounce on
hard working citizens
They either pickpocket or rob them at gunpoint
They even go to residential areas and break in
to steal money and valuable materials
They reap where they have not sown
