Old Nigerian Politicians

I fought to be at their conference, Wanting to make out the difference Of people of believed deference: Men long fond of being at the top And clearly humans one can’t just stop: Actors we would shower reverence And cite in Letters of Reference For their ostensible diligence And sweet appetite for indulgence But turned out it did a sufferance And my tasting anew hateful forbearance… The tyrants had space found in their agenda For “A No Presido” to The Feminine Gender And a stronger “No” to bubbly youths, Often at home with reckless truths… Self-serving, old Nigerian Politicians Content to be God-forsaken Factions.
