Massive and wild ostriches <br />Pervade our land <br />These birds are flightless <br />Yet they are swift beings <br />Endowed with vicious two toes <br />Which are used to erode our soil <br />Their big brown eyes <br />Are curious to spot <br />and steal our commonwealth <br />Their kleptomaniac tough nails <br />Assist these strange birds to bury <br />Our hard-earned resources <br />Under the secret groove <br />Of unidentified foreign treasuries <br /> <br />Believe me! <br />These birds are wicked and cruel <br />Their impunity is audacious <br />Their wildness scares other birds <br />These flies steal, maim, slander and destroy <br />their ferocious acts <br />Unleashes hunger, thirst, hues and cries <br />On other helpless species <br />Who suffers malnutrition and starvation <br />Oh! These species of ostriches are pure wild<br /><br />Babatunde Aremu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/willd-ostriches/
