Bolts, Nuts, and Filthy Roads

Bolts and nuts litter the highway Rickety cars shedding their parts Contractors' pride in Naija More potholes to serve the roads Roads built on holes and filth Blind they become when they pass by With extra cushion to absorb the shocks Potholes and filth don't mean a thing Paid to punish the poor The cost of road use is often death With effrontery, faces display Gullies and rubbish strangulating traffic Same points for shameful political portraits Unkind faces forced on the people Only contractors and their payers celebrate Bandits, thieves and police celebrate Using their property (road) as bait to rob Potholes important for extortion and killing People driven in confusion and pain Permanent engagement in ignorance
