Abiku! – Adewale Sobowale

It’s everywhere,
Over years,
Not only political,
Also is physical,
Could be emotional,
And, also mental,
Baba nla philosophy!

Like play, like play,
Rag has become cloth,
We never refused,
Tattered clothes to wear!

Seen as abomination,
In lands that were,
Kere si number
Shamefully happen
Now in Obodo!

Scariest of crimes
Happen with levity,
Tani ma mu mi-
We hold power!

Housewives raped,
Daughters kidnapped,
Sons are drugging,
Fathers are stealing,
Mothers prostituting!

Ruled by democracy,
Government do have right,
To notice not!
Neither to prosecute
Nor to ever rule
Well, the country!

Citizen Muda’s rights
Proved when decides
He to look
Lucozade-like when
Disempowered he becomes!

Trying we are
To prevent satanic
Incursion, but Baale’s
Wife sells hemp!
