President Olusegun Obasanjo- Atiku Abubakar <br /> <br />Promises of pardoned traitors <br />Reek like ancient regrets. <br />Exhibitions, <br />Steeped in rapacity. <br />Inured to light, they <br />Dominate blindly <br />Evoking the same air of oppression <br />Noteworthy of the days of yore. <br />Traitors in transit, trampling as they go. <br /> <br />Over us, they bellow. <br />Lording it, they rule <br />Under the guise of foreign dogmas, <br />Silence all demanding. <br />Egocentric beasts with rotund bellies <br />Gloats with our reserves. <br />Unaffected by the groaning of a people <br />Nestled in penury. <br /> <br />Our Overseers, <br />Behemoths, disguised, <br />Assiduously make us the <br />Shame of the whole world while <br />At perfect ease with themselves. <br />Neglecting the many sufferers about, they <br />Jostle for private vaults in Zurich as <br />Our poverty became their riches. <br /> <br />And the bespectacled gargoyle <br />Trenched in the prison called Rock. <br />Impervious to all wisdom, <br />Kept an unholy vigil as <br />Undertakers beckoned suddenly. <br /> <br />Archetypical simpletons, they <br />Bask in gaudy wealth <br />Untouched by the miseries surrounding them <br />Building high walls to keep prying eyes away. <br />Atop Hills, perched like Vultures, <br />Kleptocrats searching for new honour. <br />Aglow in oily garbs, they <br />Regale themselves, as the world looks on in amazement!<br /><br />macaulay akinbami<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deus-ex-machina-5/
