A father who curses one of his kids with the sting of Jingoism the nuclear, becoming a toxin to the entire organism. Leadership, void of manifesto will only harm and divide even under the thickest google, the cataract cannot hide. Neglecting the wide road to stubbornly follow the ditch and trying so hard to play wonderful football outside the pitch. Arrogance and cluelessness execute every method wrongly then the grand excuse that things are moving but slowly. Hands choreograph to emit a feeling so smooth underneath, Citizens suffer bites from more than one tooth. Freezing all good indices in ice but expecting perfection instead of honour and respect, the people face dejection. Their unheard cries are dumped in a rusty pigeon hole and tears pour and dry up in a leaky old bowl. Even in the ineptitude and poverty, tyranny features four years passed and everything is in need of sutures. in the man-made famine, some still sing sweet songs any pair of lips not in line, condemned is its tongue. In the next polls, the people's expectations will not go stag change will come, decorated for democracy to brag.

How can we be so advanced yet so dependent on defense mechanisms, trauma and unbalanced minds? Will we ever escape from all of them?

Yes, we won't.. The world is getting amazingly unsafe, man is getting unimaginably voracious for blood. Greed and power the major flavours increasing his appetite

"Their unheard cries are dumped in a rusty pigeon hole and tears pour and dry up in a leaky old bowl." - Wow! Wow! Wow! Where have you been for six months? Don't ever do that again!

hahahaha... Trump is not the worse leader currently existing. A lot of African leaders beat him hands down, one of which his photo is displayed right on this poem.. Muhammadu Buhari, the Nigerian president. Thank you for your comment
