Hush, Hush

The braying of horses
 of the Knights
Of the Saints of thieves
 and thugs

The winepress of propaganda
 is waning
And there is no more to draw
 from

The silhouettes' of darkness is
 fast fading
The dawning of truth is fast
 approaching the horizon

The rainbow brightening the sky
 again
The skies are clearer now, that
 the hubris is come

The dawn, the unfamiliar quietness
 the hush
The shadows are merging  into
 one wholesome
It is noon; midday at the equator.

It's about time for the blame game
 to end
But it has only just began more awaits
 us citizens

The cards are on the deck, waiting to
 be reshuffled
Hush! hush!! It's the Nigerian poker 
 please keep quiet.
