LEECHES AND LEADERS

 

from afar you will recognize them 

they are without pain and shame 

jiving to cries around them 

they beat their chest with pride 

their agbada, sew with million pockets 

wild animals in khaki and boots 

playing on your intelligence like chess

while planning to milk you dry

the gullible follows suit 

feeling they have shares in the loot 

you are such a fool you brute

a mumu jjc, bloodless recruit 

they clench their fist tight and milk on 

no single iota of pity for the dairy cow  

they hand you crumbs and say 

“that’s enough for now, come back tomorrow”

they sit relaxed on the national treasury 

eat it all and bless the masses with their flatulence 

look behind, smile and say

“I hope you love the stench”

leeches and leaders in dark pigment 

rubbing their overblown rotund belly with ointment 

their words are sweet, kind and tender 

you’d grow jealous of hell if you pay rapt attention 

let me give you a kind reminder

nemesis is never a fool

karma is on vacation but will return 

God’s wrath is slow but time will tell 

your name shall be remembered with shame and pain
