Politics is a game of diplomacy.
Olayemi Dlaw,2012.

 

To my fellow Africans, let us be wise
If we really want Africa to rise
Politics is not a do or die affair
It is sardonic we are not aware

Politics is the reason we are not growing
As the world is aware of our frowning
Our leaders are full of political gimmickry
Involved in shrewdness and trickery

My fellow youths, another election is approaching us
There is no doubt, they will visit us
Let us not be used as political thugs
For many years, they have underdeveloped us

Alas! Do not die for any politician
They are well known for political shenanigan
Racketeering with the Nation’s fund
With no assurance of mund

For Africa to grow,we need political unity
Honesty and love to get out of calamity
Enough of politics of the belly
If we must develop perfectly.
