INGRATITUDE

The child sucks at his mother's breasts,
Till he has enough ...
He reads by the light of her eyes ,
Till he learns to read and write ...
He steals from her wallet ,
To buy a pack of cigarettes ...
He walks over her lean bones ,
Till he graduates from university ...
When becomes a man ,
He sits in one of the elite cafes ,
Putting one leg across another ,
And holds a press-conference to say ,
That the woman has half amind ,
And half a religion ...
Then he is applauded by the flies ,
And the cafe waiters .
