A Politician's Thoughts

Rating: 5.0


Just the other day Mr. president
Begged billions for the hungry
All that money will be spent
To feed the hungry country
Of those needing money
And others a meal a day

But that is their problem anyway
There is enough food for my family
Even if we were to eat three bags of maize a day
Our food would last us to eternity

Sometimes I wonder why KACC
Or that other barking dog PAC
Have not yet summoned me
For diverting two million bags
Of maize for the feed the nation operation
Maybe, they are tired of barking!

Perhaps they think I know
The wrongs themselves commit
This could cost them jobs

Then there is this other group
Thinking themselves smarter
But getting foolish after a scoop
Of their money during campaigns

So let the be
Those boiling paw paws and mangoes
To feed their young ones
Waiting for donors’ money
Which needlessly to say
Would benefit just a few
