KLEPTOCRATS

Heard drums rolling in the land

Citizens watching, clapping their hands

Here again, the season of winners

After ballot snatching by followers, thugs and killers

They got into power whichever way

By hook or crook, they just must have their say

No permanent friend, but permanent interest

Oh Lord, save us from this arrant nonsense.

Democrats or Kleptocrats

I wonder who these people really are

They roll out crazy agendas and show off like a movie star

With their Agbadas and Babariga

A gown sewn without honour, integrity and principles

Adorned with a crown that lacks Godly pinnacle.

Elected into office to make policies

But it’s all about themselves and social groceries

The thought of the people is never on their mind

Common priorities gladly pushed behind

They gang up to steal our common wealth

They act aloof with no common sense

Carrying out white Elephant capital projects

Just to siphon from our treasuries

They are elicit thieves, whom enough can never be enough

They are kleptocrats that must be instantly stopped.

Technocrats or Kleptocrats

I’m still wondering who they really are

Appointed ministers, advisers and commissioners

But they won’t stop cutting dubious corners.

They fly around in private jets and ride expensive cars

Leaving our roads in colossal tatters

Living in houses only cool money can buy

They are mostly thieves living in disguise

Always in Abuja, putting their hands in the cookie jar

Their certificates mostly made in Harvard

But to our economy they causing hazard

They act as if they are goal getters

Eloquent, resourceful and pacesetters

But look deeply, they are all quiet noise makers.

They bring ideas from the western world

Giving their ignorant masters reasons to borrow more

Yet they never implement a thing

They only complement a bigger thief.

********************************

Technocrats’ awol, kleptocrats aloof

Seeing public office as a place of awoof

Common front unison to steal and loot

Yet, up in the north, all we hear is “boom”.
