I'm Going Shopping
By Frederick Kambemba Yamusangie
21st CenturyI am going shopping
But I will not see Mr. Smith,
Even Mrs Velnet will not
Cross my sight today
Today, she would not ask me
"How are you?"
"How is your mother?"
"Tell her I will see her tomorrow
At the seniors-citizens club meeting"
Imagine,
I am going shopping
Without buying a bread at Mr
And Mrs McBride's bakery
That's unbelievable
Did you know?
Mr Smith's butchery has been
Demolished,
Mrs Velnet's fruit and vegetable's
Shop has closed down because
She's gone bankrupt.
From now on, the Smiths, the McBrides
And the Velnets will discover poverty
Which has been alien to them for two hundred years.
All that, for what?
It's for me to shop in comfort
It's for me to get everything
Under one roof
Well, what should matter to me?
Is it the "hello" of Mrs McBride
Or "buy one get one free"?
