POEM TITLED:The So-Called Sovereign
They are the corruption breeders
Sweet-toungers of the Sovereign State
They are the callous cabals who breach allegiance to
the State
Sugar-coated mouth embellished with sweet lies
High hopes of the so-called electorates on their
fruitless promises
Shedding and Shattering true innocent bloods to
devour power
Hijacking the vulnerable at every hour
Usurping the able bodied youths to achieve their
supercilious gains
You see the so-called sovereign smiling to the
banks
While the so-called electorates sleep on river
banks
After standing under the scorching sun and roaring
rain with optimism to vote
Hoping for a better tomorrow
While singing songs of sorrow
The so-called sovereign secretly ridicule the
electorates and rob it all over their gloomy faces
They exploit and loot the hard-earned resources of
the state
Justice was nowhere to be found!
And those who searched for it waited till eternity
All hope seems lost!
What is the essence of law in a lawless state?
What is the essence of law when it mainly favours
the lawmakers?
The so-called sovereign continually adjust and
amend the law to fit their felonious favour
Hiding behind immunity to commit grave misdeeds
They are entirely oblivious of a Day!
A Day of reckoning!
Where all favour will be lost!
It is just you and thy creator
Absence of thy ill-gotten wealth or thy selfish
mentor
Why do so much misdeeds in life
When it shall amount to nothing but vanity?
