Poem
My brother David met William Geris A former head of state of Utopia Having dinner in the city of Paris They talked about big things David had plans to run for the state Judiciary So he discussed it with William Geris, He said Go ahead David, for me that will be beneficiary Play the music and let them dance to your tune Get to the poor folks and promise them heaven on earth Woo them with sweet words of a better tomorrow Breaking the cycle of poverty and a prosperity rebirth Promise them free education and free health care You need to go to all the churches Promise them every valley will be filled and every mountain made plain You need to be charismatic to show you are ready for service And don’t forget to say your long prayers You need to hang out with the drug smuggling gangs To really show you are one of them Tell them to give you the chance to emancipate them from death pangs And know well, they love to break laws and ransack state properties You need to link up with Organization for Youth Ablaze (OYA) “A Change you can see! A Change you can believe in!!” Now that is what I call the ‘advertising phase’ Promise them of gargantuan jobs and scholarships You also need to hung out with the financial gurus A kind of ’Dating’ before Marriage Sound it aloud, they are the ones with the clues Cars-Yes! Gargantuan contracts-Yes! Meetings at some posh hotels-Yes! Pull the wool over their eyes, indicting songs of hope and peace But when you lose the election insists on a recount A diversionary tactics of getting the opposition votes cease “I’ll slap you so hard that your teeth will come off” Mr. Geris is this what is on the ground, you call politics? It looks like I will be a schoolboy fantasy and a sketch cartoon David, my son most politicians have with them a bag of Poly-ticks I call it the absurdity of the absurd Poly-tricks
