Of Politics Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Of politics, I shall not write anymore
Just out of sheer ethics

Of politics, I shall not speak anymore
For all the good therein is gone with parasites

Of politics, I shall not even dare think of anymore
Just to preserve the religion of my thoughts

Of politics, I shall not sing anymore
For all my songs would be but all expletives

Of politicians, I shall not befriend anymore
For their endemic corruption has become a pandemic

Of politicians, the clean amongst them are not anymore
For the critical thinking, constituency is now extinct
