Rock Of Roguery by PIPROM(m): 12:26pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
Inside the enclave, Rock of roguery, Empress revels in vanity. She frolics about in splendour And swims In ocean of greed. Vain daughters prattle on platitudes As overzealous suitors, Seekers of public offices, Of patronages, lucre Await opportunity to pounce, To take brides, Tickets to rulership home In unholy union. Loud laughter From inner chamber reverberates, Where taciturn Emperor Reigns in tacit conspiracies. Where rogues with cigars Perched between lips And cups Of stupor inducing liquors Clutched between crooked fingers Juggle nation’s destiny. By: Chidi Anthony Opara |
