I SHAN'T WHITEN MY TEETH
Help me with your brush
I need to whiten my teeth
And make them whiter than snow
To comfortably dine with you
When I come to your house
I shall close my eyes
To pass by your beautiful fence
And evade the filthy patches on your face
Why do you squeeze your paunch?
Into tiny well scented suits?
Leaving your house to rot
Because of the sordid cups you drink from
I shan’t whiten my teeth
That disgusts your sick blind son
To be served by your hands
And eat from your dirt plate
Let me keep my dirty teeth
And avoid feasting with flies
When I die of hunger
I shall remain with a clean heart
