EXECUTHIEF DIRECTHIEVES
Invite dignitaries from all the States
Accordingly, fly guests in from Continents if you like, by Air Emmyrate
Let the Press cover the event full page
Lavishly, decorate venue, to the dancing stage
The Police & Army must man the security gate
Arrange food bountifully in local & foreign plates
Order drinks for guest in plenty crates
Customised champagne bottles like the Dyno Milaye for occasion's date
Get hard currencies exchanged for spraying' at any rate
...And many other directives that get one irate!
While, workers' inadequate pay are yet unpaid at due dates
Yet, for survival, some children must engage in street trade
Public institutions are cash strapped, abandoned to suffocate
The educated, are far below our overwhelming illiterates
Our child mortality rate, ranks amongst the World's worst range!
Prostitution, robbery, other nefarious acts are now resorted to, by our graduates
Still our Politicians, and Executives wantomly display humongous wealth every place
Endlessly, plundering our country's resources on the stable of bogus waste
...Oh Lord, why is this our fate?
