A Poem For Obasanjo by dimcod: 5:44am On Sep 25, 2007 |
Obasanjoism Nigeria Obasanjo is a howling lie Ethnic jiggery-pokery ate all the pie Hoping and waiting desperately to die Leeches fly-by-night jingoist constitute bat swirls On witches broomsticks and swags and snarls Brewing cauldrons and ego Macbeths at heart Relishing Brutus dagger to a Banquo's heart A Machiavellian touting de-tribal heart Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo El Nino snort from hades pores of the raging bull Springing strikes like a mamba's bile to kill A sly animal craving man and emperor destruct Sitting podgy in cocooned balaclava on Aso Rock And dark goggles clad on Olumo's rock Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo Magma spurts from three strikes by Caliphate's staff To gushes of fools Ota crude emitted through pouting arse Of Auditor/Petroleum Minister-cum-President ass Dubious baton pass from Hausa to Yoruba and vice versa Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo Their country hymns are not lyrical nor song By the pride of the East country nor gong Our ofo is greater than three strikes to bung On a barren rock, Chicken wings and Cow dung A Town due East from Ota does not belong Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo Their boundary new road goes to Ilorin as do the tracks From Lagos via Ibadan shifted on skeleton tracks To Lokoja and Abuja, Makurdi and Taraba To seek the new kids on the block they say Whether short changed or not they do not know nor stray Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo Minna, Sokoto, Zamfara, and Kano Kowtow to godfathers and warlords kowai Kebbi, Katsina, Jigawa, Yobe, Borno and Nasarawa Kaduna, Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau and Adamawa Almajiris-cum-boyscout-cum-boys brigade yo-wah Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo The Sea now washes their Nigerian feet and pockets surely At Ondo, Kogi, Makurdi, Nassarawa, Taraba, and Adamawa shores And they seek knowledge from their six wise men Who pontificate from the verge of the setting sun Reaping the king ransom from the spoils of war long won Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo Their new Train will rattle pass Olumo From Ibadan through the rocks of Ilorin to Aso To giggle at the emperor's new clothes from Ondo Draped arrogantly over the malevolent rock ado Used to stone to death an Igbo to a course for changes Breeding quacks versed in Bayo Ojo and 419 tongues To keep their Nigeria a lie and good venture for thieves Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo The Sea ate Delta-cum-South-South and spat it out at Abuja The Chicken are clucking aloud now, Afonja Recalling the distant steps of the nonchalant farmer Indifferent to reality crow of dawn to scamper To feed the Chickens and let out the hyenas with a temper Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo Is there a railway line to their coops and pens per chance But Chickens do not fly the kites nor dance Except on wings of 419 helicopter from Abuja for a price A tokumbo plane garbed in agbada and dark goggles tu ras And the clucking Chickens are pied-pipers flutes Flouting heartily their One Nigeria to loot loot Whistling Araba to a One Nigeria of their choice en masse Obusonjo Obusonjo Obusonjo We will then merry and sleep well in the East Where to each household is a kingdom host As we sing aloud to the envy of Nigeria across border Singing- Nothing About Us Without Us, Nigeria you hear! And to hail Our Half a yellow Sun with joy from the East To heal Our wound from tarried servitude and yearn And crown Our heads with Red Caps as we deserve Shouting and singing with one voice as we please Ofo ya gazie Iseee to God Get a valid visa if you are thinking East To catch a glimpse of the Tiger in the heath To everyone of us is an industry in motion Now free to work hard without Nigeria burden Dragging Us down to the dust with them Tufiakwa to bad rubbish all round As we all sing God bless Igbomma abound Ofo ya gazie Iseee to God |
