Et Tu Democracy

Stimulus check… 
blood diamond
from a failed November, 
Payment
to a dark tomorrow,
Bribery 
—for a future stole

(Dreamsleep November, 2020)

The Nigerian Dream 6

A world class country
Where corruption remained an enemy
Bribery a foe to the leaders
Good roads and better pipe borne water
Constant power supply.

Came With a Price Tag

not free
came with 
a price tag 
through 
bribery 
tried to 
win 
affections 
used any 
means 
necessary 
to achieve 
that goal
but it 
proved 
to be 
too expensive

Premium Member Conflict and Compromise

Somebody starts everything 
As a conflict
And makes it a compromise 
In front of bribery 
Election canvassing
Demonstration or strike
A long way to fight indeed
For truth and justice
Which is already existed
Before we arrived at this world
Why


Dear Sirs

Bootlickers and bandits
Brutalising the poor
Impoverishing [poverty
Preachers and prostitutes
Partisan puppets
Promoting political promiscuity
impunity
Right brothers so tight with sorcery
Bribery and forgery their mockery, I dread
Robbers of my bread
In spring Isweat.

Africa Acrostic

AFRICA

Animals you wouldn’t want in your bathtub
Frighten the tour guides more than the tourists
Runaway donkeys slow down traffic
Intricate methods of bribery placate government officials
Citizens double the price to white faces
Adoring children make it possible to overlook the impossible
Form: Acrostic

He Was Not There

Not coming, long gone, 
Accused of loving, 
Precariously balancing, 
On a shelf, an oven. 

Christians and atheists,
Will swap one day, 
When people will sway, 
To the music of anti-theists. 

No bribery, no rues, 
Just with love, trust, 
And with a life lust, 
We’ll get our dues.

Bribery

You're still mad at me,
But I'm not mad at you
I'm sleeping on the sofa,
What else am I to do?

I'll hurry to the flower shop,
Pick out a large bouquet
Dinner and wine by candlelight,
Will surely brighten your day

You're not mad at me,
Never was I mad at you
We're back in bed together,
It's love for me and you!

Tommy's grade point is under.  
His SAT's... a disgrace.

Mommy's paid off the college in cash (just in case)

One can't lower the bar to let rats in the race 
and then wonder why rodents are running the place!

Bribery

My heart`s offering is plentiful today
It`s ardent
Tt`s daring
It`s bribe for services in the intrest of our past days
I want them to return as scattered ships
So dear the wage
So close the end
You may say I`m a poor man with the last coins for passage.

Stealing and Corruption

Stealing from the bribe treasury
of those that fight bribery 
to my bank account overseas 
for stealing is not corruption 

That money is ours 
stole from our resources 
that is hidden overseas
for stealing is not corruption

Ohh, arise o-compatriot
to served our heros past
for stealing is not corruption
so peace and unity

When God Waited For Me

God waited for me, literary
Everything was always ahead of me, itinerary
I was always full of me, stationery
If work could change me, bribery
Then God summoned me, Calvary
And, God waited for me literary

My itinerary
Quite literary
Got me stationery
That Calvary 
Was the only bribery
And, God still literary
Waited,
For me.

Mistrust Issues

Mistrust is like a thorn
Fiercing deep into the skull
It's like adding salt to the burn
Excruciating beyond pain appall
Akin to disloyalty and treachery 
Mistrust is misgiving not careful
Towards a downtrodden bribery
Misgiving against success is painful
This is crisis in attitude and morality
Without following rule and its sanctity.

Premium Member An Old Story

Sometimes we pray so that 
The Kitchen God
Will not tell some of our mischievous acts
When back to heaven end of the year
It is not an old story
As a bribery is a comman way of life 
Nowadays
To soothe the anger
To satisfy the greeds
To zip the mouths
To blind the eyes
To stuck the ears
Of the authorities
The stony hearts of mankind

Premium Member Tribute Iii

Chelsea’s well paid by NBC
Doing nothing apparently
Is this a charade
For payoffs to be made
Since Clintons adore bribery?


This is a modern form of "tribute".  There is an incest epidemic in the USA.  We're talking millions, and this is only a very small slice.

Solution To Air Pollution

Yes, we’ve got the message
But what of its passage?
From your factories vapor
That does not foster rapport:
To residents a mission
Cushioning the emission…

I fear rearing stalemate 
And a final waiting bait.
I wonder the smart platform
You’ll set up to quell the storm.
Whom you choose as Delegate
They shall behind relegate…

To Angering Pollution
Bribery not solution

Premium Member Politics

Politics is a mutual confrontation
To gain status, power and influence
Is not that simple
Sometimes out of logics
No sympathy
Only politicking
No discussion
Only debate
No laws
Only conspiracy 
No truth
Only absurd and fantastic ideas
No promises
Only proposals
With comical speech
A brilliant orator
With bribery
Some dirty tricks  
All are to win
And he who wins 
Is always to be admired

Premium Member The Miserable World of Bribery

The undeserved man will bribe to get
What he only gets by chance
The deserved man will bribe to avoid
Being snatched the golden apportunity
The greedy man will bride to make sure
What he wants is attainable
The unconfident man will bride 
To be selected, to be distinguished from others
Where there are  strong competitions
There are briberies in various forms
A stupid man even bride God in his prayer
Does he

Premium Member An Escape

Whenever I feel down and depressed
I long for an escape 
But to where
The earth is too big 
To know where is a save place 
And too small 
To escape entirely from the sorrow
Everywhere is bribery, racism 
And hegemony prone
There isn't a save place without sorrow 
And happy forever
The heaven is still far far away
And the hell is out of consideration
Maybe leave it to fate
And please don't ever ask me why

Premium Member A Bribery

A bribery
Can be great or small
Even sweet as the cake icings 
Enlightened as the rustles of the night worms 
Stonely silent as the night darkness 
Secret murmuring as the stars 
Unmoved and unconcerned as the bright moon 
But suspended and burdened is your own heart 
With a prolonged confrontation 
Amongst your secrets, guilts, reputations, expectations, greeds
And the truths of life 
Your choice will be your destiny

Premium Member A Winter Comes

A winter comes
With nonstop rain and extreme coldness
Flood, flu and running nose
Besides the long fight of covid
Besides the long fight of political stability
Besides the long fight of bribery
A winter-like weather comes to my country
A country of equatorial climate and beauty
With no sympathy
But only as a test of faith in the nature
I believe
Doomsday will never come
As man makes up a part of the world
And His world

Premium Member Worked Up Lies

Mind tormented with stresses of the day.
Misled truths and thoughts in disarray.

A purveyor of lies, they are to me.
Unfairly treated, their so-called bribery.

Against a wall, repeatedly my head pounds.
Nothing is played out right, revenge on rebound.

Just let me go to collect my dignity.
Your fibs just keep adding up the ante.

I am spent and somber, from your wrong dealings.
Please just let me go from your mental beatings.

Premium Member A Remote Control

With a remote control 
Everything may be at your fingertips
But not human rights
Man with wisdom is difficult to control
Bribery and scandal will be questioned
A peaceful demonstration may occur
Protesting
For human rights and justice
The country is neither under one person
Nor controlled by the only remote control 
Called hegemony
But under the whole people's rights 
But under God's protection
But under one's conscience
If any

Premium Member National Hypocrisy

O! Mahatma Gandhi!
You taught us non-violence
But we slaughter easily
Our own sisters and brothers

We create an institution 
To promote your ideals 
Yet we subject to ordeal 
The destitute of our nation

Bride-burning and bribery
Casteism and untouchability
We puff in snobbery 
Losing our accountability

O! Mahatma! Do not weep and curse
This beloved nation of ours 
When the books of your messages 
Are used only for binding packages
