Bad Luck by lee007(m): 11:20pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
[b]BAD LUCK Some moons ago we danced sang and swayed We wriggled our conscience to be played Door to door we spread the gospel of vain All haling the animation that was very plain Oh! what a coupon we had bought in April Suddenly, after 50 years we will hit the mega lottery To the wise and broad good luck is an illusion A mere consolatory song for the delusioned How suddenly can a wild dog roar in the jungle? I thought we knew wolves and sheep don’t mingle On the day we casted the lot I dried on Osborne With no doubt that we gambled with the unborn Across the seas I watched for the numbers Maybe this this I can live the dream of a nation by the rivers The first number called was tenure elongation Seven years of tears, sorrow and degradation Coming along was deregulation The digit for corruption, waste and emasculation Now it suddenly hits me like a cassava farmer Who didn’t plant but expects to eat cassava bread in summer Personal folly is pardonable without trepidation National futility is however beyond medication In less than a year our good luck again has gone fatal Bad luck then to all who elected to rather flutter Omoekun-2012 GTA.[/b] |
