Not Yet Uhuru Iii Poem by Chukuemeka Akpe

Z ealot hastened to power on the train of oppression

I llusionist as a comrade binding people with rhetoric

M agnificats of flattery choke household suppression

B read baskets crowded with cobwebs tease the public

A bjection daily embracing the human spirit like raiment

B atons ever rise up to bruise the appearances of courage

W eals of outrage fester under the cover of dying garment

E mpathy in droplets for an emperor on an ending voyage.
