Power Drunk Poem by Qiniso Mogale

They are intoxicated
Power has made them proud
Power has gone to their heads
Power has made them believe they are gods
Power has made them untouchables
They are power drunk.

They have forgotten those who voted them
into power
They have forgotten those who ensured
that they attain this power
They take for granted those who voted
They feel they are entitled
Their arrogance is nauseating
Their arrogance is annoying
They are power drunk.

They have bankrupted their nations
They have enriched themselves
The citizens are languishing in poverty
They are intoxicated with power
They are power drunk.
