Poor Game! Poem by Haruna Garba

Some with staffs
Some with guns
Others with foul obscene words
All after the poor hart
In this ever ravenous hunt

Some with staffs
Some with guns
Others with foul obscene words
All after the poor hart
Coercing it to make a false move


Poor game! Poor game!
Why should anyone be a hart?
And every leader will soon turn hart


Some with staffs
Some with guns
Others with foul obscene words
Always after any Caesar
And a Caesar always there will be-
Wretched cycle of tragedies!
