Predative Predator

Amidst the savannah roam conniving beasts,
Their motives mask their actions all too well,
In politics, their power never ceases,
Nigeria's fate, it seems, they seek to quell.

A hyena lurks in positions high,
Schemes with a jackal, plotting their deceit,
Their hunger gnaws, they seek to multiply,
Their tally of embezzled wealth complete.

The vulture watches, waiting in the wings,
To swoop and feast on riches unearned,
While rats scuttle in the shadows, unseen,
With cunning plans that leave their nation burned.

Oh, Nigeria, blest with such diversity,
To thrive, the beasts of politics must flee.
