Caught Napping
CAUGHT NAPPING
Cocky
bluffing like the covered duck
Tripping
boasting 50 years sojourn ahead of tomorrow
Stuffing
filching away our future in a "Ghana Must Go"
Sniffing
snuffing life out of the halves not
Smiling
suffering in the midst of plenteous
Praying
screaming to God in a pinnacle for miracle
Thinking
scheming to uncover the protruding umbrella
Dropping
raining fuel scarcity in fuel city
Wailing
knocking hope for an end to Boko Haram
Willing
making our votes count with a loud voice
Drinking
making mockery of the change ingredients
Napping
snoring while the people's eyes remained ajar
Fluffy
Cutting the wings of 16 years umbrella
Aging
caging no more the sage of change
