Curruption In High Places. Poem by micheal udenyi

Curruption In High Places.



Amaka for president
Abeola for governor
Tarzamu for chairman
all politicians
seeking for quest
to increase thier fame
they came up with thier manifestors
which was all we saw ever after
they made so many promises
which they never fulfilled
and with thier self serving lies
they wiped up storms
able bodied young men favoured
by the famous politicians
armed with amunitions to guard
remembering an enemy
which they long held grudge against
and made sure he was evaporated
and [never forgot thier allies]
who helped falsify elections
for strong they were indeed
empowered by riches and fame
they had fiery breath
which to beware by the poor
they could easily babecue
the fly which flew too close
so they made themselves
kings of the earth
in the first year of thier reign
they did tricks to amaze
they astouned the masses
who wathed with delight
but the subsequent years
held problems galore
with a scarcity few barely survived
just when the masses
were about to give up
I.C.P.C. arrived
majestically with power
added with authority
patched up the homes
demolished by politicians
cleared out the fields
allowed to overgrow
cured our people
of most of thier ills
one of which was evil
as well as curruption
seconded and supported
by the already famous E.F.C.C.
and the ever able
Code of Conduct Bureau
all came together
to pull down the tyrant
who made the lessers
surround and support the great
having set directions
for others to debate
look at the bunch of students
feeding on knowledge
thier teachers guiding them
through new topics
haven learnt thier lessons
still remain within the schools
believing thier teachers
to cast away the stranger
now headed organisations arose
tackling all thease problems
from the simple to the trickish
these organisations have knowledge
but the people never agrees
hoping none of these is actually a pretender
directing them according to thier agenda
but the economy is in trouble
that we all can see
all because of the leaders
and the led society as well
they all contributed
to make curruption surface
is there any way
to stop curruption in high places?
i mean a royal rout
that leads to our ultimate objective
but still we all have a role to play
in keeping curruption at bay
in this our great nation.
