Naija Politickians
those who sworn in the native
name of God to quell the Kilimanjaro
of our sufferings,
shall be judged not by the colour
of their intentions, but by the number
and sizes of their Agbada,
we've pretended dead enough
on the battlefield of knowledge,
who will lend the wells with
diamond rims,
dug at the back of tinubuing houses
mouth to cry out like a virgin trying to
be raped in the middle of a blind market?
on to village imported housemaids
betrothed to penury,
choring in rainful sweats but ignorant
to Swiss looting accounts open in their
names.
the proboscis of greed that makes
a single man suck alone the citrus
of an oranged country,
and to even put to halt the managing
fingers that feeds from hands to mouth.
