The Beatitude Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Blessed are you, teachers;
Who promote and encourage
Examination malpractice for yours
Is lack and poverty even in midst of plenty.

Blessed are you, teachers;
Who corrupt the minds of
Your students for what you stand to gain
For yours, is hardship and problems upon problems.

Blessed are you, school owners
Who perpetuate bribery and corruption
In your schools, for your students to
Copy exams rather than write exams
For yours is setback and fall.

Blessed are you, school owners;
Who though aware but turned blind eyes
To malpractices and corruption ruining
The futures of your students
for yours is, downfall, nothingness.

Blessed are you, O' parents
Who aid and abate your child
into corruption and malpractices
For yours, is irresponsible and failed children.

Blessed are you, agents of government
For knowing all the ills in the system
Yet, for a brown envelope, you declared 'satisfactory! '
For yours is suffering and disaster!

Blessed are you, lecturers
Who seek cash or in kind bribery
From their students to pass them when they fail
For they have failed to teach students the value of failure
And the gain of studiousness and responsibility
Theirs is old age of pains and miseries.

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, Rabboni
