THE PHARAOHS OF ABUJA (POEM)

or me, Nigeria is overdue for a Revolution. The man-made suffering of the Nigerian masses has reached an unacceptable height that patience in the face of these crimes is no longer virtuous, but an act of cowardice or connivance. It is time for the masses to rise up to the occasion by enforcing the ethics of good governance.

From the hill tops of Zuma Rock,
Roars the thundering voice of Subjugation.
Who while spitting the saliva of intimidation,
Announces the dreaded arrival of the Apostles of Corruption.

Their coming unleashes fear and lack in the land.
And accompanied by their acolytes of Oppression,
They parade their ill-gotten wealth from Oil and Contracts,
On the streets of the Needy and the Helpless.

They are the Lords of the Oil fields and blocs,
While the Sons of the Soil wallow in deprivation and lack.
They have devalued the value of education in Nigeria
While their kids and wards ply the corridors of Ivy-Campuses.

These heartless men and women claim to be our leaders,
But have subjected the led to the bondage of modern slavery.
A scenario worse than the experience of the biblical Israel,
Under the obstinate and temperamental Pharaoh of Egypt.

They have houses everywhere but no home to rest in.
Guarded day and night by snipers but in constant fear of the unknown.
For when all is said and done; death the leveler must come,
To take all home to the arena of eternity with no riches on-board.

Our Pharaohs of Abuja are mean and insensitive
Ready to kill and be killed for money.
An opposition to their money-making-venture,
Is a pure certification to an early grave of no intent.

The Avengers are on a mission to Reclaim.
The IPOB are on the crusade for Self determination.
But our Pharaohs stand their ground of Domination
Until none is left to mourn the demise of the Avengers and the Indigenous.

The Fulani herdsmen are on a blood-soaking errand.
Armed with the arsenal of the Rangers and the Seal.
But the necks of Abuja Pharaohs are powered South,
For by and large blood is thicker than One Nigeria.

What is wrong with the divorce of the wedlock of strange bedfellows?
Why die in a marriage of greed officiated by the lords of 10 Downing Street?
When our fore bearers were not signatories to the register of consent.
To hell with a marriage where the Pharaohs of Abuja are the suitors and brides of the day.

I Rest My Case.
