THE WOLVES
By WALTER KEYOMBE MUZEMBI (C)

They speak of peace
But they hate being told of justice
They speak of their axes
But they hate being told of our boxes
They speak of mansions
But they hate being told of corruption
They self proclaim on the benches
How they are wolves along the trenches
Drying a patriotic citizen
DRAINED weary in the den of illusion
