Ageing Nigerian Politicians

Ageing Nigerian Politicians Being made younger by beauticians; Their millions for Plastic Surgery, Their wealth for Good Imagery; The emptiest resolve to seem The Youth: A Soon-To-Be Blind sees its sad truth… Ageing Nigerian Politicians, Richly trusting nice rhetoricians Like the Pharisees did their synagogues; A fat faith in settled demagogues, Who a lot could lift from The Bible And into a rally walk with The Tribal… Ageing Nigerian Politicians, Forever The Poorest Logicians; Even smart can’t defend trembling hands However good their many farm lands: For restive youths promising Good Fight; Shall them teach worse than Mosquito Bite… It can’t happen in America: Their unborn babies also own a car!
