What A World Poem by Abdullahi Nashe

What a World

What a world
What kind of inhabitants
Naively confused
Trust no longer factual
Hypocrisy by the second
Betrayal within a minute
Selfishness the rule of the game
Leaders no longer leading
Ruling with jungle justice
The ruled without a hiding place
Running helter-skelter
Without aid made a laughing stock
In an empire where one has to cater
Alone and only by yourself
Like a mad dog that escaped the owner
As it approaches
Treated like Ebola
That kills without selection
(Dedicated to those in Pain...Nashe)
