Africans, Stop Touting Tyrants Poem by John Sensele

Africans, stop creating tyrants
Quit your penchant for confusion
Promote not a demagogue who rants
Tenets of democracy grow in profusion.

Africans, develop self reliance
Quit your penchant for alms
Promote not a feeble free lance
Tenets of democracy pin not on force of arms.

Africans, ditch appetite for sycophancy
Quit your penchant for personality cults
Promote not the fancy of necromancy
Tenets of democracy bury neither in tumults nor catapults.

Africans, build strong State institutions
Quit your penchant for State capture
Promote not political prostitutions
Tenets steer strongly into a formidable future.
