Mummy
Why does daddy stink so?
Honey
It is not him that stinks so,
It is the sweat that stinks so.
Mummy
Why does the sweat stink so?
Honey
It is the poor and the wretched
It is their sweat that stinks
It is their sweat that daddy drinks.
Mummy!
Honey
Daddy wants you
And me
And him
To grow fat!

Otiato Vs Otiato
In the matter of Otiato Vs Otiato
Brother Vs brother
Countryman Vs countryman
State Vs the people,
In such a matter your Honour
What is the matter?
The defense rests.

(My bro, Otiato Guguyu, is also a poet and I've been reading his prized collection with awe. Then I imagined, what if one day we managed to publish our poetry collectively? This poem is therefore an imaginary poem, a prologue to an imaginary collection entitled 'Otiato Vs Otiato: Poetry by Otiato and Otiato' )
