Extortion! Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Extortion!



Who did it? !
The cat did it;
But learn the ways of the ant and be be wiser,
Than a foolish man who is ready for war.

You greedily profited from your brother's work by extortion!
And like a roaring lion ravening for the prey;
But, you need love to overcome the ways of the odds,
And, to let your hands be strong in the land of the laws.

Who did it? !
They did not understand it and, they did not know it;
Drinking from the cup of war and, eating the bread of sorrow!
However, speak the truth always and be free with your mind on this earth.
