THE ROUND TABLE MEETING
This is the round table
Where the nation's fate is tabled
With gloating eyes watching
And sticky fingers dicing our treasury
So we only get the products of the ringers .
At the round table meeting,
At Eagle Square, the closed door meeting
The baseless pocket parliament;
Deaf and blinded judiciary
And a clueless executive clock heads
With the affairs of the nation at the centre
At the round table meeting,
The law is selective
Justice is deaf and blind
And equity is a ferry tale
So the leaders get it all.
At the round table,
Rats are given our cheese to keep
Dogs are given our bones to preserve
Vicious souls lead peace talks
And we're left dangling
In the abyss of dystopia.
This is the round table meeting
Where job opportunities are converted
To slots of Mr Senator and Mr Minister.
Where our common wealth is made private
Fresh lies manufactured for the fragmentation of the federation:
The Berlin conference repeatedly held in Abuja
The round table is:
The bargaining table for our rights,
The insulation ground for loots
The motherboard for the privatization of the economy
And the personal aggrandizement of our common wealth.
