Uchenna Ekwobi Weeping For Nigerian Drivers

From Cousin Uche profitably learnt
Jeep is not for top speed
And this clearly meant 
I should another passion feed?
En route weeping for Nigerian Drivers,
Nearly all Precious Life "Deprivers".
Celebrating immunity of license
Like Eli The Ark of God and his Incense… 
It can’t happen in his Beloved Brazil,
Where he did his dollars fight with zeal
And now steers a goodly jeep
While I strive not to weep.

Back to my base returned me,
Saving me what rarely is free;
A New Year’s Bag of Rice for father-in-law
In compliance with International Law
Thanks’, Oji-Egbe, for the gunshots at 12:00am 2022
Poetically, I myself was firing too!
