Witnesses Not Only Heaven



Absolutely, that's what he that would lie going to say
Clouts of witnesses can no more be chased
Lies has come to this world a past centuries
And decades of descendants has gone by
Deciets have been reigning through all this world

Weather they pally or play
Fortunately who are we to questions their games in their faces
We we're umpired before they come in the seat
but now a worthless onlookers applauding them as our heroes
Remember we raised them from ground zeroes
A people whose witnesses claimed seating in heaven watching
Are we not seeing them rules? We are not as blind bats,
Clueless as they may thinks of us as a lower rats

it's dirty game they said the system was
you're the one played,
we're the one dirtier and dirtier everyday
Dirty or cleaned
you save your own head and your kids
are not here to got in the dirtiness together,
you play fairly abroad with the good feat
we polished your shoes,
washed your car,
Cook your meal, you still left our home front seat
We shoulder all this responsibilities alone
we at home roostering to having our ways on heat.

Politician's are unfaithful gamers!
Gorillaz they should be kept in the zoo
Their prices are tagged to the cheating book of rules
They turned the faces of those who trust in them down momentarily
While they think only God watches this mischievous acts,
We too,
We are still alive, and we voted you in!

About this poem

I wrote this for long time ago in my poems jotters. Seeing that politics in Nigeria is just a game those people voted for playing on our intelligence every time we vote them in to the power. Politician are the gamers/contestants while we are just an onlookers applauding them. Deep silence we hide in our mind not to utter few of them due to the fear and anxiety.
