Wrong War

Eviscerate him! Eviscerate him!
No. Embalm him with tyres
And tell Sango Olukoso
to hurl stones, heavy stones
Upon this vermin,
For 50naira has he stolen
From Iya Kunle's shop.
For 50naira we shall take his life.

Ha! Baba Senator! Baba Senator!
Everyday Baba Senator
With his Eleganza pen does
Dwimmers building a dystopia
In the hearts of the masses...
Contract 242 worth 700billion naira
Is awarded to ghosts who seem
To share the same blood with Baba.
Baba!

Arise O Compatriots!
Only to die of poverty and hunger.
They have taken the hoe
From the farmer
And the engineer has lost
His spanner
Arise O Compatriots!
Prepared    we have    your graves.

The thief sits in our churches
And receives the Holy Ghost
The thief kneels in our mosques
Chanting his Lahilah
We sit with them, we pray with them
We pray for them:
Lord, save us from the ravaging
Dollar.
We pray

                      wrongly.

The Dollar is not the thief,
The thief is not the Dollar.

Sango Olukoso strums a pensive
Hymn in the heavens
for all to hear
The rains will soon come,
For our leaders, let us pray
And our brothers, let us maim.

Crown him! Crown him!
Yes. Adorn his wife with purple
Linen
And his children with the finest
Apparel:

The thief, the thief
we name our king
But our brothers
Will die in the streets
(For stealing 50naira)

The war is won.
Let the heathen rejoice!
