Not guilty anymore

By Karani Kelvin.

Tell Laban Erapu
If you can find him
That we are not guilty of giving anymore
Used to seeing the “heap of rags”
With their begging bowls
We have learned to see them as us
Like NGOs finding it difficult to get aid
We see beyond their made to order agony
There is hardly an innocent soul out here
They fleece us by the coin like politicians
We’ve become the reluctant donor
Desensitized to peddlers of lies
