Why We No Longer Blush

WHY WE NO LONGER BLUSH. Greed just caused a barricade Named road block, My rusted tooth brush is been Pasted with mud, Blood is the chalk on my Children’s black board, Darkness has made my vision Blind with sawdust, The society is presently corruption Drunk, My skin is now thicker than The elephants tusk. Prosperity is an abstract tense To my leaders ears, Her desk is the nest for corrupt Birds. These foundation needs urgent Salvation, Political elite believe in dehydration Clothed with frustration. Dehumanization is the logo for Each progressive union, How is it done in Pluto? That astronauts dream to travel Like she harvests gold. Niger is my home The future looks like a shredding Rope, Major infants are infected with Running nose. Wealth is a test not show of Strength Even the beggar can become My president If he dreams well And furnish his sense, Be prepared to help Distribute smiles without Collecting rents. HABIB AKEWUSOLA.
