What of my Mother?

By Wenne Madyt Dengs (A poet and journalist)

I am your shield

I am the sole of your shoes

I am the cap that covers your bald head

I am the bed that carries your fatties

You fart and I have never held my nose

You have stopped thinking about my mother

My mother, my mother, my mother

She cries day to day

She is naked and thin-legged

Toothless and bottomless

She is still wearing CPA-aged underwear

My mother, my mother, my mother

She has become the residence of all maladies

I am hearing that she lives under the tree

Because you have branded all your built-ups with covetousness wording

That “NO TRESPASSING …!”

My mother, my mother, my mother

My eyes are dried

They are subjected to objectivity

Presuming to protect

Who is consuming your shares

Mother, I am still your son though I am at the sun!
