Lorette (Jeremiad) ' GENTLE CRIMINALS '

An entity with features of a State...
Lacks elements of a nation;
identity politics, belligerent State,
brinkmanship; no mutual solutions,
imagine, Fulani herdsmen actions... Civilization?

Nigeria is divided; gentle criminals,
Nigeria undivided; gentle criminals.
Every decision; they wallet benefit.
End Luxury house for criminals, six feet,
imagine, signposts and billboards, a project.

Pledging funds at church just to shine
and making immediate cash drop at the bloody shrine.
Latest hotels; his pride as a hotel knight.
Cheerful giver by day; soul taker by night,
imagine a priest in fraud, civilization?

Like corporate beggars like gentle criminals,
politicians and foreign account, ill reasons.
Ooh! The law chambers; another bribery team.
Gentle during campaigns... Shark when sworn in,
imagine, Nigeria democracy in unique corruption.

Our democracy is full of pimples!
Body guards; higher salaries,
responsible officials; no payments!
Basket full of promises... Lies upon lies, bank of failures.
Imagine, an owl at home,a dove abroad, why?
