The umbrella is better than the broom
The broom is better than the umbrella
The game of musical chairs has begun
A king we must enthrone.
Strange bed fellows in a vicious zero sum game
The dog espoused to the cat
The lion and the deer in deadly romanticising
A king we must enthrone.
The gladiators are out
Seasoned political brokers, robbers and dribblers
Deceiving and promising with pizzaz
A king we must enthrone.

A king we must enthrone
Crown me they all cry
Confusion and wisdom dancing “shaku shaku”
Chameleons changing colours and changing sides
A king we must enthrone.

Think and follow peace
The craziness in democracy
Turning bloodlines to warlines
Peace if I win, war if you win
A king we must enthrone.
Mandate won, mandate lost
Runs, reruns, courts, violence and peace
This is the bed we made, on it we shall lie
A king we have enthroned.
SELAH.
Please let’s remember to pray for Nigeria concerning the 2019 elections. Let’s avoid violence and embrace peace. We are all brothers and sisters. Nigeria belongs to all of us. God will still be God. Amen.

Absolutely, the poem summed up what our country is cycling through every 4 year. Good thought.
