Masquerade

Colourful fanciful with myriads of mirage Hidden in public glare The more you look the less you see Opened in hidden trenches The more you dig the less you uncover Clothed more in shades of grey Preying on the public treasury Fleecing the unassuming with Alacrity akin to mediaeval thieves Leaving the leaching wound Letting the trickles cascade down You masquerade it in soothing words That is suit to the garbage trash Giving rhetorics instead of economics That will deliver from this doldrum Time is of the essence for action Every ticking tock of the time Count and should be made to count As these masquerading marauders Needed a dose of reality Isaacola AA @newnaija
