I am no Goliath
I am no Lion
I am no David
I am no Lamb either.
I am just a barefoot
poor boy from the creeks….
Thrown up by luck
to be everything I never dreamt to be.
Why are you expecting
so much from me?
It is too great an expectation……..
I never promised you anything
I am not a promise and fail politician.
I only said: Goodluck to you
Goodluck to me
Goodluck to everybody
Goodluck to Nigeria.
You greedy ones! You envied my Goodluck!
And you thrust me up to this giddy height….
and you gobbled up all my Goodluck.
Boko Haram stole some of it
Bombs tore through some of it
Single tenure stole some of it
Fuel subsidy is threatening the remainder
Oh my Goodluck where are you…..
in the stomach of these greedy ones….metabolising
Let me have some fresh air
The air all about is foul and filthy.
