Fly President Fly Poem by Chukwukere Timothy

Fly President Fly

Rating: 4.5


We the people of this biggest lie,
elect our president of change.
Our president is a fly.
Present on every state,
Across Africa and beyond.
Every second the economy shrinks,
the President still flys.
People growing poorer as church mouse.
The President fights crime?
Against corruption he pledge all his time?
What is more corrupt than inflating price?
The prices are high.
The salaries are low and slow.
The bills are getting fatter.
But our President flys.
The People, every sector crys.
Food competing with gold.
The market is getting deserted.
Power is getting infected.
Workers can't afford a plate of rice.
The hold of hunger is strong.
But the President is always on tour.
Every flight is singing this song.
Fly President fly.
I hope I don't get crucified.
