Election Palaver (Part 1) Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Election Palaver (Part 1)



Many on the queue waiting
Many more on transit to wait
Yet many more to transit to wait
And agitation is everywhere

Nowhere is the ballot papers to vote
The ballot Boxes nowhere too to vote
Electoral officers nowhere to direct
Neither security to control
Party agents everywhere haggling
Agitation now is everywhere

(Thursday 25th September,1997)
