Lagos Island (The Governor) Poem by Benn Age

Yet another day on Lagos Island,
Met the governor busy at his
Gardened secretariat.
There he was, frenzied and smiling
At the jokes his sycophants
where telling;
Sir, we have made a new budget
We can now pay for a private jet.
Men in politics should live happy
and big
And sir, your excellency sir, should not be an exception to it.
Forget the citizens they will never see,
We shall keep them in dark
As we plant more flowers all around.
