The monstrous divide

The divide across a nation,
should be considered with delicate caution,
For a bottom heavy economy,
Pulls down the massively wealthy,
Consequently cripples a brainy population,
Slows down the pace of what should be an energetic development,
It is a venomous disease I say!
An epidemic in full throttle motion.

We, the people infected with dependency on a fertile soil,
Fail to see the opportunity the North could provide.
Why are we so shortsighted in our thinking capacities,
That we spoil,
The gold mine sitting on a sandy bed
Yet, we can push investment in that direction?

We see and assume,
Those who live in sacks and shacks,
Afraid to unearth the dirt that smears their lives,
For its heavy and soaked with stink
But to bridge that divide,
We have to amass ourselves in that same dirt,
and remove the deprived from the gigantic death sink.

To climb the ladder drafted in the Vision 2030,
The monster has to be gunned down before it mutates to uncontrollable rates.
The three pillars got to be explored exhaustively,
Pull out the weed through an affirmative action.

For have we not amongst us fellows who know not how to read?
Don't we know of people who have no exposure to neither information nor urbanisation?
Do we not see victims of traditional slavery everyday living slow uneventful lives?
The truth is clear
We don't realise the vastness of this divide
Until we open our minds.

Like we bring the harvest of a crop together,
So have we to do with this population
Balance that scale,
Trim the lead-like tail,
Only then I say,
Can we kill the enemy,
And traverse to the greener side!
