2023 Poem by Godspower Oshodin

Fortresses of spectaculations.
Savagery, while finding the tiniest space.

Sycophantic adulations
Fake rise and bow in congratulations.

Obvious wishes and embellished rifts
Writhing in peaceful accord from Freetown.

Constant runaway from unenjoyable tariffs
Countryhome not desired from this frill town.

Election gangling like a thousand hope
Their criminal fist may prefer to grope.

I stopped for a while to write a poem
Revolution arrow chasing an uneasy target.

No cost is too much for democratic truth,
Ogiso has lost the sounds from constitutional flutes.

Baggages and deliverables concluded
Decisions on Judiciary, grounded.

Begging before open pleas
They scamper inside their dotted glee.

Replay your political impunity again
The million echoes of tyranny, refrained.
