Swarm of bumpkins around it




                                          By Atok Dan

Bumpkins, novices all bumble to do it right
Perhaps from millennium village,
Or from the cattle camps
None ever bothers to seek know-how,
With all banknotes in pockets,
All perplex technically,

A swarm of bumpkins surrounds the fire
They sing songs knowledgeably,
For nature has descended,
With a piece of luck
Over their long impoverished village,
Peacetime to swollen our bottomless pits
Their pot bellies only become overburdened,
Loaded with starch,
And calories of sugary junk
Let no families of dietaries out

Swarm of bumpkins around the pot on the fire
Is chewing and eating what their molars specialized in
Not at all, tongues are too busy
Mastered art of rumor-mongering
A whirlwind of rumors intended to stir vice,
By a cabal of bumpkins
They swarmed it like flies over the unburied corpse
Protruded pockets display illegally amassed banknotes,
Ranging from green American notes
To light pink and sky-like bluish pounds,
All are to water down molecules of sugars and carbohydrates
Hurriedly compiled in ant-hill shape structure
Gastric acid is overpowered

With bumpkins, they swarm around the power,
The house of food,
Paraded like vultures over a carcass,
If let go,
Life will fizzle miserably,
Even straightened skins on fatten
bones will again form folded wrinkles like before,
Gone historical emaciated shapes
None like a reminder of such
With backs turned away from it

For God’s sake,
 I swear, it shouldn’t come again
Bubbles in colloquial English
Gun it down he who tempers with,
Our plates of pizzas At Home,
Bottles of gins and juniper berries
At an away of comfort,
In a modern paradise of ramshackle system,
A swarm of bumpkins armed to teeth talks in defense
Over his berry and iPod
Set them insecure for our security,
