He beams with brilliance | B |
Baby faced innocence bubbles | C |
To the press | D |
And to the populace | E |
Unbridled truth and sincerity | F |
- | |
And so at the blink of the cameras | G |
He blinks not but bleats | G |
That the pop pop at the Airport yesterday | H |
Was no work of a bomb blowing bastard | I |
But a porter's press on a packet of milk | J |
Who didn't play with Nyayo free milk | J |
And played this game | K |
Stop exposing your backwardness before the international press | G |
He quips | G |
And quits the statement | L |

This evening | M |
She sank with her daughter | N |
Inside their van veering off the ferry | F |
The spokes entertained us again | O |
With a straight suit and eloquent | L |
Essayist briefs | G |
The military will intervene | P |
We are at it | Q |
Until all hope sank to the seabed | R |
Sometimes later | N |
The spokesman celebrated | S |
The recovery of the decomposing dead | R |

He mostly | F |
Promises punishment | L |
To those doubting | M |
State of the nation stories | G |
And point punctures to power | N |
And with a threat | T |
The brief is | G |
Brief and over | N |

The government spokesman | U |
Spins and spins | G |
And makes the government | L |
Win and win | V |
He smiles and smiles | G |
While the whole nation | U |
Whines in lies | G |

He tinkers with the truth | W |
Bought from a booth | W |
At the cost of an arm | X |
And a tooth | W |
Pampers the president | Y |
Pelting the populace | G |
Putrid precedent | L |
- | |
Government spokesman | U |
It is raining | M |
How shall you put it | Q |
The government is in | V |
The process | G |
- | |
You are the spoke | Z |
Upon which your master | N |
Wheels | G |
You are the yoke | Z |
Fanning frightful feels | G |
- | |
With militaristic precision | U |
You execute your mission | U |
With journalistic finesse | G |
You domicile some doubt | A2 |
With police perfection | U |
You dis charge dis service to all | B2 |

Government spokesman | U |
With what merit shall you | C2 |
State statistics as they are | D2 |
Not seem or ought | E2 |

Spokesman | U |
What's the state of your state | F2 |
Today | H |

With what lie | G2 |
shall you make me lie | G2 |
Tonight | H2 |
