The Nigerian Politician

Bloated belly, swollen cheeks, and a sunken stiff neck on robust torso. Yet well fitted in flowing apparels; falling and being raised frequently from side to side. Obscene opulence is your delight, your prestige and your pride; amassed unlawfully by the pen, ever wet for your deception and thievery. The flight of your spoils of office enlarge the shopping Malls and treasure houses of the Occident, leaving your covetous people deprived of earning power. To arms they take at boredom's peak, whilst your virgins and maidens go a-whoring. Still, you in your sinister acts of re-election, widen their capacity for Evil, just to have your sit-tight bid guaranteed you.
