The Prodigals Have Returned

Hey! The prodigals have returned. The one we entrusted with our wealth. The custodians of the granary keys. They are here again. Five years ago, We sent them to legislate for us. Very angelic they were. Very blameless they appeared. The prodiglas have returned. Overseas they have been. Offshore accounts they've created. Their lifestyles lucrative. Very egocentric they are. The roads they promised to improve. Till dystopic. Bursaries in their accounts. As our children languish in illiteracy. Their son and daughters graduates. Ambassadors and high officials they are. The prodiglas have returned. To persuade us into voting for them. With incentives they have come. Sweet words they have. Very seductive they are. The prodigals have returned. @ Tha Formidable Cheru.
