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
