I weep for Kogi
For the horror faced in recent times that has stolen the joy from peoples’ face
For the endless screening exercise that have caused numerous death and vile
For the ravaging menace and starvation in the land caused by greedy tyrants
For its leader blinded by arrogance whose iniquity takes away our happiness
For the man-made famine and impoverishment they have created
For the development only seen online but never in existence
For the failed promises and hapless condition of the state.
The leaders we idolized and hoped on were mass murderers
Whom we gave out our leaflets and support but instead, they gave us hell
The wind of change that came was a wind from hell that drove people to their early grave and left us with anguish
What better punishment to know that their history would only be remembered by enemies with utmost contempt
For the horror they have created and the curses sent from all corners.
Alas, their humiliation and exit is near
Since it’s the people in this state of destitution that would choose who leads them,
I would weep no more
For 2019 is not at the end of the world.
– Abdullahi Abdulkadir
