I Bribed Poem by Job Ombati

I Bribed



I today lay my iniquity bare.
For all to bear.
So overt in your glare.
That my heart so strain.
And conscience so stain.

I met a policeman.
Asked to inspect my van.
So fast moving my hand can.
Reached the pocket and out a wad.
So seduced he pointed forward.

A grade I needed too much.
I bribed.
She of other gender.
I accepted to such.
Unbridled.
The grade this time better.
The grade so real but forgotten the touch.

I bribed today.
Line so long and patience held at long at stay.
Had to have my way.
So did I wink.
Good looks stamped the ink.

Was at vehicle inspection.
And my car in wreck condition.
Had to know superintendent inspection.
Got the right man.
Mediator who carries the coin.
