A Known Politician

A known politician Like the bed bug, they bite Anything that comes their sight Without being given the right They are well known for earning more than a stipend But they always fend More than what they would spend Like the weevil, they bore hole Into the nations credit zone So that they could be financially mellow Like the peripatetic soldier ant They walk down our girls pant Without having for them a penchant Like the African wasp, they sting The decent girls that shun their ping Because they know they have for them no ring Like the green mantis They send insurgents To kill and crush our people in a blitz-Krieg And pretend in their political vicarage As if they are unaware of the carnage Like the golden eagle, they have carte blanche To fly around the world and eat a la carte Without remembering that one day the court will visit their case Like kite, they go to greater height Without remembering there would be a night That every movement will come to halt And that day they will be starved for nights And they will be left to fight to right To bite the carrion in sight And beg for their death to set
