THE FLYING MR P.[President]
Every now and then he jets off
sometimes for a mere cough
he flies for the 'interest' of the nation
this we watch in hunger on television
since inception into office
he jets abroad without notice.
The puzzling part is this
he gains nothing from his trips
despite spending tax payers money
isn't that funny?
He lashed at former Mr P
of squandering every dime and pin.
He made millions of promises
that till date he still dismisses
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I got nothing against Mr P
I'm just allergic to treason
Betraying our trust is treasonable
and we are disillusioned for this reason.
Apart from the fact that he flies
his government is prone to lies
believing we can forever be fooled
since they're unintelligent bulls
their loyalists are fanatics
and sentimental hypocrites!
I supported at first
when for 'a change' we thirst
thinking he is the messiah we expected
but as predicted,
most old robbers in the party
flowed into the new party.
Please someone answer me
'cos I'm at sea
what will old robbers bring to a new table?
so aged and incapable
they all joined the new party
and I died inside
my heart was broken
words were spoken
yet he they all congregated at the round table for a meal
To plan and to steal.
Every time he flies with his ministers
wasting millions in the face of disaster
disasters that happen every day in the nation
ye no concrete solution
Mr P is clueless
directionless
and vision less
our country just drifts aimlessly
and endlessly.
Within two years of inception
everything has gone Topsy-turvy.in the nation
food stuff prices are beyond reach
yet the government shamelessly preach
transport fare keeps skyrocketing
school fees keeps rising
yet salaries remain constant
fuel price rises this instant
as I bask in this rhyme
at this time.
Oh Nigeria!
why so unlucky with your leaders?
that rapes and exploit with bags of leather?
other countries outgrew her economically
educationally
electrically
infra structurally
In everything positive.
We pray and hope for a messiah
more than ever before.
