National Irony

NATIONAL IRONY All hail the giant of Africa, Giant of bribery and corruption Giant of poverty and wailing Giant in the face of frustration and hunger. What Giant is in the soul of Tyrant? 'We are here to serve the masses' But they serve their personal interest and enrich thief selfish pocket. Your money is soaked with the bitter tears of the poor! 'A descent life for all ' But they impoverish our helpless heart, Look unto our street and see thousands of descent citizen. 'Health care service for all' But they refuse to honour the pulse of medical practitioner, They cause falseful close down of our health centers. Their promise should have been fulfilled If only we have vaccines in our hospitals not even an atom of antibiotics. 'Police is your friend, Bail is free' Why are innocents going through the pain of the crime they commit not? But your falseful fine could feed a whole nation three times. 'Kick against indiscipline K.A.I' But they kick against public fund, Kicked against human right, Kicked against our democracy, Kicked against National growth. 'Security For all' But they loot our defence money They cause 'Boko' to waste life's Your actions caused our abducted Skirt homeless and hopeless. 'Equality before the law' Why are you depriving good standard of living from us? You steal trillions of money to impoverish your brothers and sisters of the soil. 'Reduce the rate of poverty' But your policies leads to inflation We Now wear rag for cloth While your clothing allowance can shelter thousand heads. 'Reduce crime rate' But look into our schools, cultism is highly ubiquitous Graduate turn robbers, Kidnaping here and there All happened due to your actions and inaction. I don't know where the future of this country is moving to, Everything is now getting worst 'Things are now falling apart' Whose fault is it that such has befallen us? © Adedamola Quadri Adeniyi All Right Reserved 2016
