Not Yet Fait Accompli

I pace back and forth in the luxury of
my bedroom
Yes, that was what I am doing right
now, my people
I never desire to get along
sheepishly.
The tales and fables of past heroes
for peace and unity seem sleeping.
Their strength and sense of humility,
their memories are all dwindling!
Corroded by master gluttons – some
say we are neither homogeneous!
Gone are the days of martyrs and
veterans – their heritage is long
gone.
I was thought to be gallant but I am
no braver than a civilian!
Not crafty with telling lies and for the
task, I simply fit the plan.
And for the way I drool, it is least
expected in the classroom but
boardroom.
It was a craft, a virtue if you must
keep the stool.
Although, I am nothing near that evil
genius of yours with gracious smile;
And the man behind Y.E.D.A, his
mean lust for power hid beneath his
dark glass!
I learn drooling this and that from
them all, they were my masters.
Politricking I learn from one Major if
not more.
Oh no, they were all Generals not
Majors in any particular vision!
All the same, they all served our
dearest nation.
Yes, no going back even if for the
good of the nation – it is no option!
Look at them, many yes-men still
flock after them.
Yes, in a bid to feed from ill-gotten
mounting wealth;
They infests the country with
corruption and annihilation,
And held the nation in ransom, they
lust with power for power.
I am an elder statesmen – that is an
ambiguous statement from drooling
men!
Here, I swipe my hair, pacing back
and forth
Not because there was a pain in my
head or my buttock,
The seat is relatively hot not as in
law of relativity, this a clarification!
Yes, if you get to feel my
temperature or my volition,
You would know better, I must rerun
– two and half term, was it wrong? !
It does not matter which profession I
belong,
What does matter, I carry a cross – a
lust for the nation!
Power I crave not willing to be
powerful, my cronies are helpful!
I must have been afraid of few
powerhouse thought to be truthful.
This very few casts the dice and tell
the outcome, it is a beautiful truth!
This is only a matter of been pocket-
full, political investors are no fools? !
Anyways, this game of throne is
never meant for fools.
You dream of a changed world in a
matter of one term or two!
My cronies are planning a single
term, this should be handful.
Least you know, no-one can change
the world with a single trust.
Those who pursue this makes it far
worst, I seldom share their thought.
Please, at every intervals, do find
time to feel my pulse.
