Clouds Of Brinkmanship Poem by Oti Egwu

Ambitions of titans melting into deep fury
Power sways towards cockeyed vortex
Hoi polloi stewed in political pretext
Nigeria a hysterical powder keg
Politicians pulling sink our feeble ship
Hence, boiling clouds of brinkmanship

Our country is in mired rust
With politically incorrect cases of
High handedness and noisome patronage
With haramites feasting on carnage
Buhari jogging to oust Jonathan
Amaechi swimming in shenanigan
Duke thickens aspersions on Imoke
And Obasanjo thinks Nigeria's not okay
Said she's under dictatorship
Oh! Scruffy clouds of brinkmanship

Nigeria's politics bubbles on the black stage
As PDP and APC bikers in rat race
And the polity overheated by goons
Poise to flash the 2015 time bomb
While jarring secession looms large
Let's quell the current political clash
And support adept leadership
Therefore curbing clouds of brinkmanship
