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!
