Ironies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCD EEFG HIJ KLMLNLEE

A world of complex ironiesA
How my actions breed uncertaintiesA
That I should desire changeB
Yet cherish antique hedgeC
And for want of peace take armsD
-
Protection I beg of the almightyE
But would not deign fortify my cityE
For want of hide my lamb I slaughter'dF
And to create path my cocoa tree uproot'dG
-
On my farm weeds of rank proportion growsH
But my children by the day roamsI
And at night would they on rickety bed yawnJ
-
Friends would in my kitchen fetch fireK
To keep their children warm at nightL
My mouth wilde agape I admireM
When there I pay to catch a sightL
And my children dies of coldN
Since darkness consoles them all nightL
Would not neighbours observe my beautyE
And c'nclude firmly I am my dear'st enemyE

Poet's note: Leadership is the act of carrying people along. But the definition changes when you apply it to Nigeria. Leadership now becomes the position of fattening one's purses and taking care of one's family wants for the immediate and unborn generation at the detriment of the masses' needs. The ruling class transfer looted funds to overseas accounts, which these countries utilize to champion their development and boost infrastructure..... While our dear country and the underprivileged citizens are abandoned to faith. A sad reality.
