Poem : Fuel Subsidy by mikuz(m): 11:53pm On Jan 12, 2012
One obvious thing we now
all know/ about our
leaders and ministers . .
also/
Is that in this nation,they
dont just care/
about how we and our
households survive or
fare/
Let us all stand up and say
no to this habit/
They can not eat their
cake and still have it/
They are not concerned
about how food prices high
rocket/
They are only interested
on how they line their
pockets/
We should not let them do
this to us/
Every man born of a
woman should carry his
own cross/
Lets not let them molest
and extort us this further/
'Cause this time what they
have brought up is worse
than murder/
Now they claim the funds
realized from oil subsidy/
Will be channelled towards
developing the dungeons
we all call cities/
They told us they will build
more hospitals and equip
them/
And improve our dismal
health care system/
That for our graduates
they will create more jobs/
And make life sweet for us
all . . . like Tom-Tom/
They stress they will build
more good roads and
Dams/
And rid the parasitic petrol
Cabals/
But we all know that they
are just blabbing/
We dont believe one word
from what they are
yapping/
Infact, tell them we dont
just trust them/
They are only like the
previous Governments/
They keep making empty
promises,they know how to
keep them coming/
At the end of the day they
leave us with nothing/
They wish to deregulate/
But how would it work
when its corruption they
emulate/
For the best they ask us
to hope on/
But how could they do such
without lifelines for us to
hold on/
Even the meagre palliative
they gave/
Could even be turned
down by a slave/
They simply failed to
address the real issues/
They have looked straight
on our eyes and called us
big fools/
All they do is loot and loot
and loot and loot/
And expect us to look and
look and look/
But this time all these must
stop/
We will take it out to the
street,squares and bus
stops/
We insist on the strike, no
going back/
Until they hear us and put
their cracking house all
intact/
Oh God things have really
fallen apart/
What happened to our
dear land we all loved and
held close to our hearts?/
No doubt, we the masses
love our beloved nation/
But its the leaders we are
afraid of/
Lets indeed occupy,NIGERIA
until they revert/
And go back to the start/
Only then we now sit on
the so-called/
Round table and seek for
the best way forward!/
God bless Nigeria.
