Bread And Butter Poem by Oduro Bright Amoh

Bread and butter
Our fathers said it with a stutter
We blamed their time, we blamed their choices
It's our timeto lose our voices

Bread and butter
Words our lips are too weak to utter
We would not care about the milky spread
If we could have only the bread.

Bread and butter
Our leaders are in a flutter
Begging for bread with flour in hand
Yet we have gold in our land

Bread and butter
Our children can only mutter
They will inherit an empty tummy
And rosy promises from His Excellency and mummy

Bread and butter
Who will this hunger shutter
Our leader says it is beyond repair
Mummy is crying in despair
