Imagine?

Matthew Harris

Imagine being rich. 
Imagine being loaded, in a poor country.


Imagine having a job.
Imagine having an IMF contract, lifting living standards.


Imagine you are a landlord.
Imagine you are a mheshimiwa, behind electric fences.


Imagine being respected.
Imagine being revered, developing a poor country.


Imagine having a terracotta roof.
Imagine you are sipping wine, while the boy washes your V8.


You just imagine.


*Mheshimiwa is a common term for politicians in power.*
