Nightmare At Daytime Poem Rhyme Scheme

Poet's note: The poem nightmare at daytime is a paradoxical and a satiric poem by popular prolific poet and writer Kofi Agyare Ntiri. The poem is aimed primarily at chastising current unfortunate political happenings amidst democracy in post independent era in Ghana. The message of paradox is conveyed in the title of the poem and reiterated in the piece itself. The poet throws a jab at three key persons whose actons leave the innocent in agony, discomfort and quargmire. These people are the politician, members from the community who assist the politician to unleash pains onto the populace and those people whose duty is to seek justice of victims who suffer from the hands of the former. The words of this poem was primarily influenced by the dire actions of politicians in the lead up to the 2020 elections in Ghana. People were tortured, beaten and taken through oppressions as the two largest political parties battled for power. The writer did not fathom why Ghana which has been the standard of global peace should see such brutalities meted to its citizens.

In the morning those nation wreckers	M
Come to make their evil glow	U
With no sign of remorsefulness	M
They defend their evil course	M
They have made that conspiracy game	T
An epitome of evil	P

But the lamb will see justice	M
Upon hearing the clarion	V
When once the lion	V
Responds to the master s call	W
To account for his course	M
Against the innocent scullion	V
