I Will Strike!
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [I Will Strike!]
I will strike

If you want to, strike!
Across the Ocean
There my offsprings learn
With King Henry; a British heir
Here where yours train
Like half-baked breads
With archaic and weary facilities
Dusty and musty sheets
And tattered wears beautify their bodies

You said, I should pump millions Naira
Into a barren sea without water
To what end?
Would your offspring be useful to me?
Tell me.

I haven’t drained off the coffer
There’s still much to suck
This nation’s breast is robust

If you keep shouting
I may even kill
If I do
I will enjoy immunity
So stop shouting
If you want to strike
Strike!

I will strike!

Strike again and strike forever

If I strike the nation’s economy
Will become lame!

Who gives a damn?
I’ve billion dollars in Swiss Banks
I could spend it anytime
Strike, strike and strike

Damn you! I will bite more
From the national cake
The other rodents and I
As we go higher and higher
With our blanking dreams
