The African Policktrician
A very interesting personality
The sorrow of a people.
Ethically bankrupt and diseased
Its level of physical self-destruction is appalling,
All in the name of power.
He poisons herself daily
Believing in one spiritual con man or the other.
Even though it has stolen billions
SHe is still a pauper.
This strange condition is guaranteed
By the poverty of its soul.
It has an ego the size of a cathedral,
Yet with the fragility of an overblown balloon.
Since it can be reduced to nothingness
By the tiny pin-prick of the truth.
Then it is exposed for all to see
The joke that has destitute millions.
An accident of fate
Where the worst elements in society
Are the custodians of its power.
Thus it’s exposed for all to see
A very interesting personality
The sorrow of a people.
