THE SITTERS by Dauda Onawola

THE SITTERS

They claim zeal to help with a shady agenda list
Originally bearing a sole item - their scoop.

Pulling a gun at a fellow to make demands,
Ready for imminent repercussions;
If thieves could be thus intrepid,
Our drum-bellied godfathers are direct progenies of cowardice.

Kings they are;
Pregnant with triplets,
Deaf to the rumbling ululations of the masses,
Blind to the national shambles
Thus wearing crown of twaddle;
Endowed indeed is my nation even with such impetuous kings.

With it all seeming
That nature is pleased with our woes
Writing out curses and their blessings
I only hope,  we only hope
That karma is still intact.
