Scared of feeding wild birds ( Strangers)

Certain Farmer hail from a famine land to farm in my land

The royal heads welcome him and gave him a plot to farm his grassland

He thanked the royal heads and left the palace at the king's command

Moons after Moon, his grassland grows rapidly

He gave the royal heads their demand

And he was kind to everyone in my fatherland

Even to the deserted leprosy

There comes a day when the king is ill

And the medics has no shrub and herb to help my firsthand

We are all sadden in the hinterland

We love our head dearly

Able men in my land were chosen to search

For the shrub and herb to cure our firsthand

They search the valley and hill

they found no heartlands with timberland

they head back home with heads covered with their hands.

With tear and distorted manner

they delivered that they found no land

with the shrub and herb to save the king, save

the Farmer's grassland

The Farmer was summon upon PDQ

by the royal heads and the medics

they ask him to give to them some of the herb and shrub in his grassland

but he took it up like a burning bush and said he can't give them.

They asked in pains and tears "Why?"

but he objected and said

"Are you planning to take over me while I'm alive?"

He said "I'd rather burn my grassland than to give your dying king"

They homelanders echoed "Haa!" in tears

And the Farmer went to his plot and burn it off

He left the heartland monstrously.

The firstland dead been a bad leader in own his sight

He said before he slept "Don't feed the birds, they will leave you when your roof got burnt"......

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training
