Leave us in peace Abiola-like ears When without my shears Flapping without fears Burger-like lips Surely, the bill fits Saddam hanged! Terrorists ganged! Youths hanged! Petrol fanged! Leave us in peace 230 victims, weighing a bale Not enough to tip the scales Burst! Yet another Abattoir expects still more Power maniacs at the fore Obasanjo still snores Leave us in peace What difference was there When Belleview happened And Sosoliso followed Killing a ‘fountain of truth ’ And National Corpers’ minus some 16 year-olds – buried? 1-mutilated?
