The State Of African Leaders

John Chinaka Onyeche

Wednesday 22 July 2020

Permit me into the vicarage tonight

For there is no pedestals to lay hold on

Tonight is the night the children envisioned

Been waiting for their blooms to arrive

Cause no noxious for these fellows

Virulent is the government they lives in

Engendering death upon its governance

Education and social welfare of its own

Inept scholars and without shames

Anomaly folks luring and hurling many

Into a hellish dungeon of flammables

Give them the unsavoury government

The states they build not and lives in

Artificial environment and never rests

Leaving the future leaders daily in doldrums

Their swift legs to annihilate, we're prey

Better off parrying than confrontational

Daily consternation among the masses

Tribalistic rabble rousers deceptory

Rabble rousers who renders his/her

Fatherland pacifism and laughed at it
