ANNIHILATION
The accused treated as celebrities
Come to court in designer
clothes
Shown by them is knowledge
Of those in corridors of power
Their boast is of having
Friends that matter
Those that could have spoken
The truth are being accused
Justice denied is justice delayed,
Their hearing
crawl like snails
And freed by the power of the party
While the partyless are guilty
Judges are blackmailed and
intimidated
Some get fired and retired
While some get bloated "Ghana-must-go"
Some judges are more equal than
others
The judiciary is controlled by party
The rich trample on the poor
As elephants on ants
The minor
leaders tread on mass followers
As lecturers on their students
The privileged on the less privileged
But our earth
is not stable
Every day it revolves
Soon the tramplings will swap
The tramplers will become the trampled
God
will trample on them.
VAMP
Do you know what shocked me?
Something more shocking than electricity
Nothing shocks anymore in this nation
Resistance is as thick
As the tortoise cocoon
Women and girls on the
street
In a parade of semi nakedness
Advertising skimpy madness
The wearer and tailor are same.
Ivory
towers are the sites for flaunting
In there, breed the dogs and bitches
Sexual harassment is wall-paper
But the
question is who harassed who?
The dogs and the bitches are alike
I am shocked by this eyesore
My eyes are dimmed,
I have seen evil.
Breasts dangle footloose under "Spaghettis"
Myriad of navels are sirens
Miniskirts leave
thighs uncovered
The fannies move up and down
Like bicycle pedals
I have lost my cool
I am given an idiot
mind
I feel drowned like a mouse
I have seen rottenness!
Where are the leaders of thought?
Arent religious
steerers there?
Are the parents to be blamed?
I thank HIV/AIDS for its sword
Another sword of Damocles
Bold
as lion
Fierce as fire
Cruel like poison
And final, its stab.

JUSTICE ON HOLIDAY
The end of the road
Fine, brilliant, eloquent.
A highly cerebral gentleman
The Minister of justice
Who couldn't get justice
A gift from God
A rare
gem, slain in cold blood!
He was supposed to distribute justice
Yet, he is denied justice
Was he a criminal?
Didn't
an assassin blew off his brains?
The hired killers and the hirers are free
They yet move as free men
While he
is no more on earth.
Who wiped out June 12 hero?
What of Kudirat?
Where is late Igweh and wife?
Did anyone
see Dele Giwa again?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The blood of the victim is on the guilty.
Where is justice?
Are you at home?
Or are you on holiday?
Can you but fish out the culprits?
I call on you justice, answer me!
Justice! Justice" you are silent
I believe you are still on holiday.
Until you return, let God take charge
Vengeance
will come from God.
