Dictatorship Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Dictatorship

Rating: 5.0


Like my "Sir" in earliest school
That instructs what to do
With menacing cane we loathe held aloof
To assault those deficient enough
To rebel or blunder

Unlike my "Sir" in earliest school
Who counsel with love and care
With words and actions alike
Unselfishly taught for our good
To both the willing and not too willing.

(Tuesday 16th December,1997)

To assault those deficient enough To rebel or blunder....... To both the willing and not too willing.. Good view from a school point but hard truth from the world.
