Two Opposition Parties Within Me

Body has two opposition parties
Front liberals, the back conservatives

Never eat from one plate
never say hello to the other

When one faces east
the other faces west

When one faces north
the other faces south

And when one look at setting sun
the other waits for rising sun

But I ask them, why do this in my body?
it is only the front that answers me

Speaking through a speaker in parliament
The innocent mouth, says;
 “leave us alone”

And so it happen in land of darkness
everywhere in Africa
