A POEM DEDICATED TO RIVERS STATE LAWMAKERS.

SHAME HAS LOST IT'S CHARM. 

punches have flew like paper kites,
Slaps well delivered and orchestrated.
Screams, angry shouts, and wild anger,
Grunts and moans from the infirmed victims of these atrocities.

Things fall apart, the center no more holds,
The things in which we trusted have failed.
Like a herd of animals without a shepherd
We are scattered, divided into camps by
The things which should have held us together.

Power, position, authority, force.
Coercion, cohesion, conflict, cooperation.
Democracy, authority, legitimacy, anarchy.
Violence has adorned a cape, disguised as ambience,
It has grabbed the mace, and in a spectacular show of shame
Shattered it on their heads.
Our lawmakers have stooped too low,
And supposed Elders now parade conducts akin to toddlers.

I watched tragedy impart a comic message,
He made an instrument of law a weapon of ruination,
He maced them without fear or pity.
Barbarians adorned as elites in the society.
