I Am Almighty Poem by Thabani Khumalo

Men must be led into prosperity like sheep are led to the pasture
And all must hate the art that depicts poverty.
Poverty must be hated by the people; old and young people
And the people should love to see booming wealth in all things.

How severely disturbing it is for me to know that
One man among us is suffering with either food or with shelter.
It makes me wonder where the true teacher is
And how our leaders have lost the wisdom of ruler-ship.

I have had the benefit of knowing that men need to open a fraternity
To teach men how to be men and to retain their manliness - infra digwise.
Dedication - my people - dedication!
Men must work as men to develop men - integrally.

Indignation and shame must be regarded as being absurd
And all men must, once again, ooze with indestructible self-confidence
By the quality of richness that would be going around in life and shared,
Quality life without promises for the mind to ail.

We should be the lords of nature as we have been innately bone to be
And decide for it what should soon take place
Rather than being bullied to weep by the sloppy work of our fingers:
A lord of nature wailing to the mighty storm.

Man must, again, remember his teachings' receding knowledge -
Lessons he's given the trees to get by these times of evil reigns.
I should remind the people about the power they have forgotten they once had
And by virtue of my godliness I shall once more take charge of the falling rain.
