Honourable Cheat Poem by henry ochiagha

HONOURABLE CHEAT by Henry Ochiagha (a poem dedicated to Hon. Betty Apiafi, member representing Abua-Odual/Ahoda East Federal constituency and all other unfaithful politicians around the globe)

Honourable deeds
Honourable cheat
A smooth way for bandits
An acronym for political thugs
A good name with bad attitude
Honourable gains are achieved when their lies are honourably accepted by the misguided citizens
The moon, star and the sun are honourable to mankind
Celestial bodies with so many possibilities
Instead of swimming in honourable waters, i prefer to be in the barn of theft with honourable cheat
political parties are to blame for handpicking their proteges for various positions without due process
Your vain promises are mere words of party strife and favours for sale
Breaking the value of virtue
promoting ignorant in the midst of reprobate minds
After luring the Adhoc staffs to impunity, you gave them the sum of ten thousand naira to console their sinful heart
making their heart vulnerable to spiritual attack and manipulation
You prefer to be called a honourable but dislike a honourable death
You disenfranchise the people you love to hate from exercising their franchise
From performing their civic right
From been patrriotic
From participating in a democratic government
Rigging election honourably while a honourable life is cheated
But when the particles of a broken bottle is freed from the bond of forceful entanglement the invincible pen spoke
Speaking life into the bondage of truth
You stop all journalist from coming into the den of rigging and welcome a poet with an invincible golden pen
Under duress, he dance to the tune of your music
You maltreated a poet that is capable of writing about anything and respected a journalist that has the ability to report about everything
Forgotten that a poet should be feared and respected more than a journalist
Because writing lives for all eternity while a report might be erase or forgotten within a decade
Right your wrong oh! honourable and fight for the plight of your people
