She has been around for ages
Yet old age is bellied by her youthfulness
Like she consumed an elixir of life
Or share important genes with the wolverine
She is neither a blonde nor brunette
With watery blue eyes like the oceans
Sometimes turn fiery red like singing coals
In fact her features are always mutating
Blessed with the curves of a goddess
Cursed with the tongues of serpents
A beauty to behold, a nightmare to betroth
Yet she has been courted by many
Even little children
She dines and wines with the mighty
Yet not forgetting her romp with the lowly
Recently a president publicly pampered her
Utteringa name that makes her angelic
She aptly set her nest at the nozzle of public treasury
Denying the masses of their rightly pleasure
So conniving in her unabashed elegance
Her footstool is made of bowed giants
One of note is a handsome black prince
One to represent the beauty and envy of black race
He is gagged and shackled to the bones
While his envoy dine and wine with the lady
Who dare speaks up against her
Unless your travelling privileges are to be seized
She has intoxicated the leaders
Blinded them to responsibility and accountability
She takes what she wants, who she wants
And justice cannot make her pay penance
Because the judicial chiefs lie in her bed
The law serves to cover her nakedness
Men, immemorial, service her lasciviousness
They pay homage to her cunningness
Her identity she fears no man enough to hide
Brazenly tattooed across her chest is……….
CORRUPTION
