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.

Note: I decides
to use
polithiefcians
instead of
politician due to
the way our
political leader
loot our
resources into
their private
account.
