Poem Review: Madness Fever by emaculate99: 8:53am On Jun 02, 2015
Sagaciously and graciously!
None ever said but all is said
To be good
Good?
$1 equals 200 naira
Salaries left unpaid
People living under $2 per day
Leaders keep embezzling
While we keep suffering


If madness we have
And stealing we enter
Because of the "good" nature
Of our country
Just for us to place a cup of tea and bread
On our table
Restrictions belong to us
And yet they are not punished!
They are left to play freely
Stealing they said is not corruption
Then why punishing the masses
If the leaders go scot free


If madness I must have,
Let me be the man
Changing the day and not the day changing me
Let me be the man who belong to not only everybody but nobody
A man who says stealing is corruption
And not mere stealing
A man who is ready not only to delete but exterminate corruption
A man who cares to hear and not to hear from anyone
Change! We seek!
Transformation! We want!
But can this happen without an immaculate mind
Who is ready to emaculate* all emaculatable
He, whose robe isn't tainted by palm oil but washed with hypo


If madness they would have,
Let them prey on me
Trail me and try to assassinate me
No weapon, I said,
Like the biblical teke teke,
Formed against me shall prosper.


If madness they must have,
Let them soak what had been emaculated into palm oil all over again
Let them pour wine on the immaculate nature of the emaculated
But let them know
That another person shall rise again and whose might shall be like of a legion
And voice like the shout of battle on battle field!
No one but the emaculated fellows shall escape
His wrath!


* emaculate means to clear a spot.[br/]
