A Politician's Diary

Standing for them, myself I see Oblivious of that, for me they all agree To myself, why sweat for them? No consanguinity gives room for mayhem Unabashed, I am, egocentric, undaunted, I am eccentric, Audacious, I am covetous, In my trade, I have to be callous In their dying need, I stand apathetic oblivious of that, they think am sympathetic, while squabbling over the meagre food, oh!! how I bathe in my lassitude. Transcend not in this hit and go I may as well be Othello In my trade, am void of magnanimity, In dialogue am in destitute of veracity Few can call me altruistic and deep inside, I know am not patriotic My conscience has travelled That's why in my trade, am unrivaled. © Temajung Michael T.
