This poem is about nigerian politicians. ...especially those politicians from northern extraction who have never invested in the wealth of their people....The poem is a lamentation to community service by all not just the politicians but everyone. ...let's help each other How can you be so rich?! And leave us in the gutters! To grope in the night And filter the disgust! How can you be this rich! And yet our roads are of gold! Our wealth is your wealth While we trade on dirty linen How can you be so rich? So rich that you urinate gold! And you eat on precious stones! While we mould clay for our meals How. ..how could you be this rich? This wicked! This selfish? The tarred roads are mud While your promises are a million dud! |

Me like it! It is both a lamentation and satirical poem at the same time. I like the use of irony, most especially in verses two and three. Nice one! 1 Like |
