Polithiefcians Are Here Again

Polithiefcians are here again The polithiefcians here again with guns The blood of innocents about to be flowing again. In the silent breeze mouth about to stop chewing And body about to be tormented by hungry dearth The polithiefcians are here again Villages, cities and streets about silenced like mooless night The battle mongers and country dogs about obeying their masters like sheep in the hand of shepard Without considering where nail that pinches the poor But skew against down trodden for reward of 'thank you Oga' Vermin of leaders that loot public money into foreign account in the air- conditioned they live and forget those at the back The politheifcians are here again To leave the country in another anguish and cry To leave us in another bombshell of painful solitary-war without solace The polithiefcians are here again indeed But only to make murmur of lies to silence our clamour Before the election they came to our house at night, From streets to streets From hamlet to hamlet They lured us with their sugared smiles and a well crafted bill boards and poster around And jingles to ensure us But in return they come back like leopard about to devour us. Written by: Ajeyemi Wasiu .A. Edited by Rahman Toheeb Note: I decides to use polithiefcians instead of politician due to the way our political leader loot our resources into their private account. Abiola.
