To Avoid Xenophobia (T.A.X) Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

To Avoid Xenophobia (T.A.X)
When I was young, I read the story of Animal farm; naive and childish I didn't quite fathom the rationale behind that Story, but as I grew older, the hidden message became more apparent to me; I learnt that the big bad wolf and the three little pigs wasn't just a cartoon but a satirical depiction of our politicalparadigm; equipt with verbal paraphernalia, I aim to depict the tales as told before me;
Our system is quite grotesque, everything requires suits, how you gon' drill your boreholes without Tuxedos?
Read between the lines and see that Mwanawasa was a great leader, free TV because Levy was only a name on his NRC;
Graduated from NRDC, now I lead the Legal department, who said Arbitrary rule was abolished?
My name, means fallen yet I have the audacity to promise you heights; so who's naive, the goose or the gander? Everything's the same, this life's just a show...
You Pee and D claims we watered the bed before you woke, political spamming; how can the front be patriotic when loyalty is just an attire?
A mask for deception, misconceptions and misdirection is when you think democracy does exist, but from corruption who can desist, resist the devil says the clergyman who hides a vixen under his garments, but where are her parents?
You see To Avoid Xenophobia; we must work hard, everyone has a role to play; you can't just wait for others to fight for you yet you claim you stand for the people! We not not equal but it is simple, each one must teach one on the ways to survive; we condone the fire fighters yet man's not hot; open your eyes and see that this is one big board game and we all being played like pawns in the game of chess but we'll never catch the sly fox; we pay more than just attention to the system; pay as you earn but if you dont then pay as you yearn, because no one is exempt from Tuxedos, so suit up as we mourn the death of Abe Lincoln's dreams.
Burocracy is the language spoken by big institutions; we call for antidisestablishmentarianism for the higher institutions, because currently a patient would die for luck of patience on a que before getting medication or attended to; amended two constitutions but lacunas full, this is a plea of an unemployed youth because the retirement age is 95; hold your tongue Kondwani, you have ventured into the wrong den, sane people prefer to hold their tongues.
