Under The Tree Poem by Tony Adah

Under the tree
That is mango
Not even in season
A court sat to try
Government
The president
A punch bag!
Two men under
The mango tree
In semantics not pragmatic.
Drunks or armchair judges
Intellectuals birthed
By Dutch courage
But polished at a citadel
So revered in the land.
Politics and economy
Every citizen's concern
The theme in this shade.
High up the economy
Rose in the negative
As with the politics
Now a sham
So they said.
