Paradox

Their inordinate ambition fuels
Anarchy in the land
Quest to remain in power
Against all odds
Breeds and nurtures impunity

Their lavish and ostentatious
Taste, shoots prices into the sky
Inflation pierce us through and through
In abundant, we starved to death
While they watch hands akimbo

Theirs, a priority
Ours, an afterthought
Enough for their greeds
None for our needs
Nepotism, cronyism and tribalism
Reigns supreme
