PLUNDERERS. (A Poem)

in #poetry • 7 years ago (edited)

They are wood worms..
Eating the sap of this giant tree..
Sucking the marrows of her quaking stem..
When many many mouths are waiting to reap..
The toils of her land

They are vultures with faces of a fairy..
Who wait and watch, hovering on the cloudless sky..
To eat their carions..
And gnaw at them like legion

They are crows..
With skins of velvet
Flapping their sagging stomachs..
brandishing their pot bellies
to watch the economy ebb away in poverty

They are plunderers..
With many zeros in currencies..
Falling and jingling
when their store houses are filled and vomiting papers

They are linguists...
When the name of their crimes..
Starts coming like Euphemism..
They are keepers..
Of public fund in private places

They are the law..
Forced down our throats..
To choke in bankrupcy..
They are secret task masters..
And public democrats

    Oof. I don't know a lot about Nigerian politics, but this certainly is happening everywhere that greed reigns. (Found you through @poeticdreams)
