A Danger Forseen Is Half Avoided
Prior to the twenty fifteen election
I was in a total objection
As I got engaged in a war of words
With an elder who saw only the outwards
Though agreed that this party will win
I said their manifestos are just too green
And with the empathy that their faces flare
I said they'll grin on the masses with cruel sneer
Even though I'm not by spirituality a prophet
I'm a poet whose message to you is an amulet
The old man has realized that I'm not a kind of green
This time I'm saying APC-PDP are obscene
Aren't you thirsty for a new brewed wine
Tired of those who loot to wine and dine?
We know these men they aren't strange to us
They come in public square to make a fuss
Meanwhile they're planning to fiddle our mind
Their kind of politics has no respect for mankind
Justice is a virtue the Innocents rejoice in
But they have thrown such philosophy in the bin
A sane youth should know they're keen on their own interest
With no direction to move our country abreast
Either in economy with countries of the world
Or technology that'll create our desired world
The empowerer of generator wants to be the president
Verily power can't be better than the present
BAT that can't explain how became richer than many states
Wants to be president to slow down our metabolic rates
Obedience they say is better than sacrifice
With Obi our food basket won't come with overprice
A danger Foreseen is half avoided
Where you're bitten once or twice should be avoided
