The System Poem by Mbusya Wa Mbusya

This is a system of Frogs,
Yet, better that-
There used to be Ravens and Crows,
Mark you, we hardly complained-
Two families disturbed our peace:
The bats and the owls
Our homes were in the wild,
Scorpions were little friendly.

Now at least,
We're spit upon- better that
In comparison,
Neither are we complaining nor asking for anything better…

Some dolls are animated;
To cry and laugh like our children,
Giving them attention
And tending them disapproves our rationality.
