This House of Madness

 I

Their life were noticeably juicier than that of the masses

They slept in mansions with their mistresses

With the romantic odor of fresh perfume

And whiff of money in ‘Ghana Must Go Bags’

We slept in slumps and parks with the pigeons

With the pungent odor of ‘ki-kai’

And cheap tobacco
 

They exhibit qualities that can be both charming and dangerous

They seem to think you exist only for their convenience

A house characterized by moral depravity

Sworn to uphold the law - even when they were not duly elected

Inflating contracts – with complete impunity

Confusing proper legislative work with ‘egunje’

As crime reportedly has superseded unemployment and economic growth
 

II

The masses has been suffering

As the ‘leaders’ are smiling

House of iniquities and distress

Your antisocial behavior

Will be very valuable to the psychiatrist 

To the occupants of this mad house

Now that Etteh is gone

What we need is food, not phone

What we need is water, not war

What we need is shelter not shame
 

III

We have to start something

We can no longer be slaves

Let the tyrants see

That we are now set

To start an endless siege
 

We have known our rights

We have decided to fight

And fight we will fight

Until victory is in sight

Until we see the light
