Bench Warmer

The Bench Warmers! 

I Always confused 
About the ladders we called 
I wonder, where things went wrong 
I'm thinking thinking 
I keep asking myself 
Where are the sensitive young adults? 
So saddened the future leaders Are now the future robbers
If I could asked
Where does it started? 
All around it is from the grassroots 
Our class Reps are the yam beetles
Our school and departmental presidents
Are now the maize weevils 
Our so called honourables
Are just the bench warmers 
They are not 
Ambassadors of this nation 
They just destroy layers
The so called senators
Are just the noise makers 
They are termites that destroyed treasures.
