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 AST 3.42am @Home on June 12, 2015 Conceptualized for the recent wave of change in 2015 Nigeria Political firmament.
