If And Then
Odo Simon Agbo Jul 2012
If black is a curse and white the Cause;
Then blank is the page of rationality in a God that’s white.
If a pest fixed pies in the past;
Then its taste lists lies in the cast.
If the bulk lifts a tool and dies;
Then luck befits a pool of dice.
If a kith licks his kins like a broth;
Then the mouse clicks and nibbles like a crook.
If a thief runs away with the loots;
Then our chief grunts with harps and lutes.
Then our land wakes up with hopes and heals;
If the lost takes all the dope on his heels;
And if the thief never comes back to steal our wealth;
Then the land ever in bliss rests from the West.

The mouse clicks and nibbles like a crook, is a metaphor for internet scams where unsuspecting victims are defrauded of their money by people who pretend to be selling something or providing a service or offering one juicy  contract or the other. Beware of being ripped off!
