Where Was I? – Adewale Sobowale

Of course!

Some questions, I have:
Where was I?
Where were you?
Where were we?

When they were stealing?
When they were mobilizing?
So–called thugs,
Street urchins,
Touts,
Ruffians
N’ vagabonds?

Who, in turn, rigged
Benefactors into power
Where surplus is limitless
Controlling
My own and your own futures!

There go our destinies
While saying
Politics is dirty!

We are dirtier
For, our civic duties
We fail to perform!
