Historic And Philosophic Ignorance [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Africa’s transport infrastructure requires 5% of the budgeted
GDP while governments invest as little as 0.7% – they want
contractors to build toll roads to fund the deficit so they can
finance arms from state budgets to combat internal strife, all
this instead of investing in their own welfare

Leaders in Africa see themselves as absolute kings who own
everything, their subjects must provide for their own needs
while state coffers are robbed by these monarchs, rewarding
criminals who offer deals enriching the ruler and his minions
by stealing from the state and the people; while education is

Lacking in Africa no Enlightened Leader volunteers to guide
Africa into a new dawn, heads of state are just as subservient
to principles and responsibility as the people they serve; Africa
has not yet moved into political reform, its leaders sell out
their countries and nations to increase their personal wealth

Unaware of leadership principles, morality and advantages of
increasing general welfare; the only thing that interests them
is personal gain, there’s no moral conscience, criminals see
Africa as a golden goose to be plucked without conscience,
but who’s to blame when Africans ignore everything taught

By recent history and philosophy?
