Nothing Is All I Have




With nothing they came 
With a large luggage they left
With little little shop-stuff they came
With a lot shamba-stuff they left

It's a vacation!
They off the bus with their bags
With a fake-smile we give them hugs
And exclaimed, welcome for your vacation!

We unbox the boxed for us
Bread cakes and drinks with carbon gas
They lured kids with gums and sweets
And no work, they daily dressed in suits 

Harvesting knows  knows not the sow
Sack of a cereal a bucket of a potato 
Bunches of bananas several sugarcanes
Carried everything and left us their names
