A Phoenix

A black mythological bird That lived for many years Died on a pyre of slavery and impoverish 1960 a new phoenix was born To move away from destitute But still inherit the same load of poverty-stricken Beautiful black and famished as ever The same batches of infamy Myopia leader that got paid for their blunders Ethnic bickering, nation suffocates War, hunger, job-devoid Politician connive in the dark No future with kleptocracy More ranks to their siblings adorn Nation sough siphoning off to aloof The phoenix should die And rebirth but lousy wings should decays
