Under angry sun,we stood to vote you inin scattered lanes. Lips dipped in honey bottles;you used them brilliantly,stole our heart with your liesenchanted us with deceit! Your eyes sold you to lust.Now, there’s nothing to show,after your forth year reign! But our roads are still dust filled;our throats are still parched from thirst,as we grope… Continue reading VOTER’S CURSE

THE GHOSTS
The ghosts are not only the cabals threatening to slice the fabric of their nation, The ghosts are also those who drink wine in a foreign land when their home is on flame.

HOUSE OF LIES
Was it not last August With their sugary and honey tongues They came to us peddling lies We bought their falsehood! “My people do not worry You problems will soon be over” Again for them we trooped out In file, like ants on a mission Our finger prints attested Some paid with their blood!

THE EXCHEQUERS (a political lament by Surhdique Adeogun)
I know those fellows, Those ones looking but corporate, With sagging cheeks, fat filled lips And bellies like pregnant cows.

I hear they own fleets of road machines And they alone dwell… Continue reading THE EXCHEQUERS (a political lament by Surhdique Adeogun)

In colors of rainbow they paint A blissful tomorrow with no taint. And with words that tease our hopes, They push us down… Continue reading POLITRICKS
