Nigeria Subsidy Fight


As Christmas suffocated along
Even consuming the faithful
Where they thought most secure
The cabal have already concluded

At the dawn of the New Year
With pockets taunt and empty
Spending trailed down to mere return fares
The cog was let loose on the national wheel

Professional sufferers beheld another suffering
Fuel subsidy removal
Like thunderbolt
Smashing the New Year into still birth

Spontaneous reaction infected the 99%
Letting loose repressed anger against corruption
Imposed by the 1%
In an unmasked triumph of injustice

The divided land divided again
Not because of what it promises
Or what is expected of her
Rather into clusters of further uncertainty

The DC consensus on cabal unleashed
Structural adjustment platitudes already paid for in blood
By Chileans under Pinochet
Shock and awe that decimated Argentina

Confused and scattered common citizens became
With subsidy and corruption
Overhanging like a sword of Damocles
Obviously it is too early for comfort

The brim-hatted zoologist at the helm
Favoured and experienced steward of horror
Stood at the pinnacle of state declaiming peoples pain
While piling the drivers as compromise

Common citizens stood high and dry
As their pretending leaders betrayed positions and percolate up to the cabal
Co-scripting legal justification of their pain and injustice
Knowing that this is not the State to arise for together as compatriots
