WISE UP susec!

Wise Up susec!
I build brains and hearts
And not muscles-
I have no weapons
But pens
And books, my shield

susec-
insane elephant
Have you no work for
your strength?
you waste your time
Uprooting trees

To carve weapons
With which to give the SAINTS
The death of martyrs

You have only one enemy
The demon of jealousy
That rules your heart

Can your head bear all the shame
O grey haired fellow
Of tormenting your grandson
For having the wisdom
Age failed to gather for you?

The volatile fame
you were given
In your youthful days compete
With the stench from
The landfill for shelter in the air

susec-
Can the smoke of ganja
Defeat that of incense?
Wise up!

You are building your coffin
Hating the blessed SCHOOL
