IS IT MY BUSINESS?
Of what business is it to me
Since it doesn't affect the coins in my pocket?
Their daughters
were kidnapped from their warmth
by known strangers
I was there without prompt
to bring them back
Of what business is it to me
since it doesn't affect the coins in my pocket?
Ada and Ade,
were out of school
for months due to strike
Adamu turned a dropout tool
due to tuition fees hike
Of what business is it to me
since it doesn't affect the coins in my pocket?
Hunger buried innocent citizens
in the hollow belly
of its savouring stomach
Country's economy receives no more encomium;
its now unstable like uranium
poverty has became
a gnome in many homes
Of what business is it to me
since it doesn't affect the coins in my pocket?
Masses money disappear en masse
at the sight of my signature
sending them on an excursion
to the belly of my hungry pocket
this is my feature
I need their money not their future
Of what business is it to me
since it doesn't affect the coins in my pocket?
Then one day it happened
tears formed in the cloud
reality beckoned to me
and walk me down the
Isle of remembrance
When life came with its hand of thorns
silent siren screaming
casketing my subtle soul
In the vault forever
Then I asked is it my business?
