                      Poli-tricks In Africa

By; Ojomah Enyone Victor

I will strangulate malaria within four weeks

Every corrupt king must become a convict

Education will automatically become free

Unemployment will be fossilized



Peace and unity shall be our songs

Laughter our language

Poverty out of our vocabulary

Heaven on earth our nation be



Relax ye leaders of tomorrow

I am the the pace-setter

I will paint the sky blue

And the sun will never set



Running years like the wind of the east

Malaria yet abide with us as the skin to the bone

Sending our beloved to the grave beyond

Education indeed free, free of knowledge

The prison home for the innocent

And our palaces the habitation of criminals



Dangling hope, unstable promise

Why the blank future Africa

Why wait for the supernatural

Why wait for death to pay us relief
