A Trotro Poem

Trotros are everything
They are our libraries
We wake up early
So we can sleep in them
On our way to work.
They are our bedrooms.


Trotros are our social centers
We discuss marriages
and football matches
We sell and buy everything
Do you want a treatment
for koooo or just manpower?


Trotros are family
When pay day comes
They take the first share
The first item on the budget.
Who looks elsewhere for God
When you can find Him there!


So when you increase fuel prices
You are not just taking our money
You’re causing family problems
And even much more
You’re taking our everything.

  1. Trotro is hope for the NSS personnel
    The yes of a mate means differently in it
    A place we get all filla without antenna
    Trotro a place we can’t stop visiting
    No matter our state in terms of wealth

    You did great there bro. Keep it up.
