Political Abracadabra Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Political Abracadabra

Rating: 5.0


Amazed are people in saner environments
When strange things happen
Outcries and condemnations are voiced
Great sincere efforts applied for remedy

In the jungle stranger things do happen
Many cheer and clap joyously
Many mope utterly unconcerned
Only few dare condemn the evil
A society whose value is extinct

Gubernatorial election duely conducted
A winner emerged the people's choice
Electoral tribunal upheld it
Appeal court supported it
But in a twist of judgement
The supreme court upturned people's mandate
A fourth position declared winner
In a bizarre rape of democracy
To appease the party in power
It is a political Abracadabra.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Strange things happen in Nigerian and the people keep mum for fear of police harrassment. In Imo State governorship election, the man who won has his mandate stolen by the government in power and given to their candidate who came a distant 4th position using the instrument of the stooges in the supreme court.

Kingsley...as Tom said so many lunatic Nutcases here in the USA. Satan and his minions have a BIG foothold here. God is fair. Many of our elected under his sway. AND many not. If you believe in God or law and order, you get beaten here. Our police are being killed. Criminals get off. Innocents die. Abortion popular here. Let us pray for sanity and belief.10+
