If indeed we don't agree
That begging is a trade
A tradition
Then we must agree that
It's a heritage
Otherwise the white-bodies
One lagos-Ore-Benin road
Will not multiply to replenish their
Family tree
So that when they 're gone
How will travelers
Know there once lived
A colony of toneless limbs
On Lagos-Benin-ore expressway
