It's not that simple for hacking bank account
It needs advance information technology
Genius is breaching privacy, security and law
A misuse of knowledge and wisdom
Just because of greediness
A careless step will fall into his trap
Money can fly away without wings
Hardwork won't pay
Why is the world so terrifying
Why does the world whirl round without logics
Very unfair to an honest, abiding and devoting man
A life's saving has gone like the wind
We're facing a frightening magical world
With tough confrontation but defencelessness
Oh, my god
Blessing my friends
Loyalty
Solely, merely, only
Unique and pure
No conflict and blind compromise
No puzzle
No criterion
No mind map
No mindset
Maybe no harms
Before you're lost and regret
We're loyal because we love , we believe
Maybe loyalty must base on
Love,humanity and democracy
But not merely canvassing
Selfishness,greediness and
benefits
History did tell us
Politicians are cunning sometimes
Politicians may have questionable loyalty
They're merely loyal to their families, friends, parties
Himself
Selfishness, greediness and benefits
Rather than his country
And his people
Keep your eyes open
You can change your loyalty to the politicians
Of course not to the country you love
But because of the country you love
You must make good use of the votes
At your hands
And merely at your hands
To save your country and the people
Egoism isn't a sin
But not encouraged
When selfishness goes with greediness
Goes without empathy and sympathy
He thinks only of himself
Upon his own benefits
When in happiness
He keeps all to himself
He is the only one to deserve
When in sufferings
He says he should not be
The only one to suffer
When people suffer
He has no feelings for them
He always yearn for more benefits
Than he deserves
Greediness is always standing by
In his heart
A narrow view of thinking indeed
He doesn't realise
The world is not only his
Not even his God
History never goes away totally
Some remain
The repetitions of characters or mischieves
Selfishness
Greediness
Aggressiveness
Maybe we man
Who discovers the time
Who invents the clock
Who discovers the black hole
Who travels in space
Can stop or reverse time
To return to the previous gland age
For a better trial
A rebirth
And a better tomorrow
May be a new kingdom in outer space
Must money make man mad?
Money makes man mad
Meanwhile, man made money
Must millions make man mad?
Massive money many mention
Mighty materials, man’s main mandate
Making many mentally magnetic
Mean money might mar man
Con-men crave catching cash consistently
Committing crimes continuously
Consequently, they’re caught, captured, killed
While we wonder where we’re
We want wealth which withers
When we wouldn’t wake
We wouldn’t work without weighing ways
When we weigh madness with mildness
We would work with wisdom
When we work wisely,
We would win
MUSE: AKINDELE OLUWAJIMI
gripped with greed’s* pleasure
entombed in self-owned great mine…
there he languishes
*Proverbs 15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

She's Flossy,
Champagne Taste With Beer Money,
She's Bossy,
Takes What She Wants,
All You Have Sonny,
Hold Your Peace,
And Let The Lord Fight It,
Because In Heaven,
Bling,
Don't Mean A Thing,
Honey.
Low and selfish motives,
toss back one's head,
and my shoes are worn out.
Which horse won the first race ?
Woe to the vanquished !!
Youth must have its fling.
My old folks,
in the state of neglect,
were paralyzed with fear,
in prospect of a dirty deal.
I couldn't resist laughing,
as i keep the change of life,
in my trouser pocket.
My pride can't be idle for a moment,
and the howl of the wind,
rage all day,
asking for my incorporation.
Welfare work made the public good,
lethargic,
and stupidity transmuted iron into gold,
in the name of humanity.
Wealth has altered him,
and my shoes are worn out,
in the land of greediness.
