Liegeria

Did the government read any of the expert and professional articles about the nation? No! he read the truth from his bible and quran and consulted ayinlala And would not mind the bookworms whose domain would soon Be salted with strike and downsizing for economic growth! Did the government hear or see The commentary on, and documentary of the nation? No! he heard from the rumour mongering of his caucus, cabinet And political godfathers who are nursing manifestoes That would restructure and make a new LIE-GE-RIA! Did the government stay at home To quench the fire razing down the nation? No! he always run abroad away from the raging inferno To seek the opinion of white house, In order to avoid embarrassment when he seeks asylum! Did the government open his ears and respond To the cries of hunger, protest, disaster, bloodbath and anarchy? No! he sits on the lap of luxury within the presidential palace And rides out with escorts and sirens in long procession Leading the country to its final burial!
