In a village called Poverty
In a state called Hunger
In a country called Corruption
There I live
The north side
Of my village is bounded by
Insecurity village
While the south side is bounded by
Unemployment village
My village is ruled by
An awesome and fearsome fellow
A character called
Chief Bad Leadership
As an administrator
With whips and guns
He rules us
Pauperizing and traumatizing us
Lest we have the courage
To challenge his leadership
As a physician
Our youths he experiments on
Constantly altering their brain composition
Making of them creatures
Whose thoughts and actions
Are worse than mere animals’
Because of this, you see
Our youths are often into
All forms of vice and crime
While the elders watch
To the detriment of my village
Our village
Where we all live
PS: The form of leadership we run in this country has succeeded in producing all types of deviant characters. People are only thinking of crimes they can commit to enrich themselves. Until the Christians, whom God has appointed as elders and watchmen over the city do something about it through intercession and evangelism, the situation will only continue to get worse
