GENTLE CRIMINALS
An entity with features of a state...
But lacks elements of a nation.
Identity politics; belligerent state,
Brinkmanship; no mutual solutions.
Imagine, Fulani herdsmen actions... civilization?
Nigeria is divided; gentle criminals,
Nigeria undivided; gentle criminals.
Every decision; them-wallet benefit.
End-Luxury-house for criminals; six feet.
Imagine, signposts and billboards...a project.
Pledging funds at church...just to shine,
And making Immediate cash drop at the bloody shrine.
Latest hotels; his pride... as a hotel knight.
Cheerful giver by day; soul-taker by night.
Imagine, a priest in fraud... civilization?
Like corporate beggars... like gentle criminals.
Politicians and foreign account; ill reasons.
Ooh! The law chambers; another bribery team.
Gentle during campaigns... shark when sworn in.
Imagine, Nigeria democracy in unique corruption.
Our democracy; is full of pimples!
Body guards; higher salaries,
Responsible officials; no payments!
Basket full of promises... lies upon lies, bank of failures.
Imagine, an owl at home... a dove abroad, why?
