The First Class Citizens

The First Class Citizens: Lene Ododomu

The king's pigs have no respect for any citizen in the land
Because they are the first class citizens
So they have the freedom to invade everybody's farm.
They won't spare a dime,
but destroys everything.
One who dare to attack them would be made as a scape goat
Because they are the first class citizens.

Hope has become a slave to the pigs
Because the sky has sit 
The farmers have no supreme head to complain to
Because the king who owns the pigs control the land.
And going to the farm has becomes a waste of time to them
Because the farm will chase the farmers away
And said: "We have nothing to produce because we have been eaten by the pigs".
So like a Peter on empty ship,
they peter with petered out desire.

The pigs control the land that is why they can destroy and go scot free.
They are just pigs
So they are expected to be considered as ordinary animals
But they are more valued as pretty as gold!

Church is expected to be respected
Because it is a Temple of God.
But they will walk in with their body odurs 
And destroy the sacred Temple of God.
Still the people have no gust to challenge them because the king controls the land
And they are the first class citizens.

Anyone who is not from the tribe of the pigs is considered as stranger and enemy.
So they will order the sun to consume the plants of the strangers.
So every dry season is a worse season to the farmers.

It seems the king is happy about their wicked acts.
And majority of his cabinet 
are from the tribe of the pigs
So they also back them to perpetrate the evils in the land.....
like a hunter who set a trap to catch grasshopper.

The land is suffering
The cry of the people has sounds to the hearing of the moon.....
Like a roaring elephant.
