Pauperised Poems | Examples


The Almajeris (Ii)

Of them our rulers 
To the pauperised people.
Of a kingdom surrounded 
By millions of the  “Almajeris” .
Of looters in power up towers
Thinking not to leave forever.
Of the Northern cabals
With donkey years in power,
Of them with the stench of the “Almajeris”.

Of the Bush –Pig with the
Hyenas on the Rock
Of them the gluttons and the greed
Of them that devours our resources daily
Of them the Southern vultures
That condemns us into misery.
Of them that worn for millions
Toga of  millions of poverty . . “Almajeris”
Of them the Urchins who
Made us suffer amidst bounty.
 
Off them the Predator millionaires, 
We shall seize power for the millions
For the time to wrestle and dazzle
To yank off the toga of the “Almajeris” is now.

On our way to Kaduna NCP/NCC Meeting
Precisely at the one of the garages, we saw it happened 

NB-The word "Almajeris" is an Hausa Language from Nigeria used for the 
wretched ,tattered looking young children in the Northern part of Nigeria. Kaduna 
is a State in Nigeria.
