Poem Title:
Poem
Bail Walking down the street Jogging nor leaping Our hope is given a little threat By them entrusted the essence of our being "...Your friend" is made to be their slogan Truly it is to romance our purse Even without guilt, just for their gain Making us criminals in our house Relations and friends in innocence Are made to run from pillar to pole For liberty to be made in praise Yet obtaining from our purse is our friends' goal Liberty is free in law But frustration they make in making us pay Yes, we do in ignorance of the law Encouraging them feast on us all day ....."your friends", oh our friends Of what good is a parasite friend Incarcerating those presumed innocent? For the benefit of their purse Bail They said you're free Yet our beloved delight in jail Not their will but the law that fails to agree The worse is the court Our hope, lord and strength That verification must be supported with naira notes Else, prosecutors will not make it fly Presumption of innocence, not in their watch Why the need for the law of bail? That's the essence both courts and "our friends" never catch Making the presumed innocents suffer liberation in jail Many households are in disarray For the loss of loved ones to "our enemy-friends" Encouraging greed that persist to the gray And the government turn unconcerned eyes Who will save the innocent from the predators Roaming around to be "our friends"? As all roads blocked for a possible liberation Leaving us with no options for solutions Speak, I say speak out!! Else "our enemies and friends" Will keep feeding on us being ignorants It's the law that bail is free and all must obey it.
