THE EATERS OF THE LIVING Ours is a nation of the eaters They eat everything and everyone They eat like the termites They eat like locusts They eat like cancer cells They eat like acids They eat the festering sores of the people They eat our phlegm They eat our corpses They eat our names and reputation They eat our money They eat the skin of the poor And drink the beverages Of their sweats They eat our patriotic service They eat documents They eat the flag They munch the anthem And chew the pledge They masticate the constitution They gobble the land They devour the people They chomp the sick They gnaw at the country They crunch the stones They grind the iron and gulp the rust They eat the footsteps They guzzle the history They gorge the law The consume time ~Dr. Maiduguri (11 October 2004)
