Churned from the choreographed collegeA
He beams with brillianceB
Baby faced innocence bubblesC
To the pressD
And to the populaceE
Unbridled truth and sincerityF
-
And so at the blink of the camerasG
He blinks not but bleatsG
That the pop pop at the Airport yesterdayH
Was no work of a bomb blowing bastardI
But a porter's press on a packet of milkJ
Who didn't play with Nyayo free milkJ
And played this gameK
Stop exposing your backwardness before the international pressG
He quipsG
And quits the statementL
-
This eveningM
She sank with her daughterN
Inside their van veering off the ferryF
The spokes entertained us againO
With a straight suit and eloquentL
Essayist briefsG
The military will interveneP
We are at itQ
Until all hope sank to the seabedR
Sometimes laterN
The spokesman celebratedS
The recovery of the decomposing deadR
-
He mostlyF
Promises punishmentL
To those doubtingM
State of the nation storiesG
And point punctures to powerN
And with a threatT
The brief isG
Brief and overN
-
The government spokesmanU
Spins and spinsG
And makes the governmentL
Win and winV
He smiles and smilesG
While the whole nationU
Whines in liesG
-
He tinkers with the truthW
Bought from a boothW
At the cost of an armX
And a toothW
Pampers the presidentY
Pelting the populaceG
Putrid precedentL
-
Government spokesmanU
It is rainingM
How shall you put itQ
The government is inV
The processG
-
You are the spokeZ
Upon which your masterN
WheelsG
You are the yokeZ
Fanning frightful feelsG
-
With militaristic precisionU
You execute your missionU
With journalistic finesseG
You domicile some doubtA2
With police perfectionU
You dis charge dis service to allB2
-
Government spokesmanU
With what merit shall youC2
State statistics as they areD2
Not seem or oughtE2
-
SpokesmanU
What's the state of your stateF2
TodayH
-
With what lieG2
shall you make me lieG2
TonightH2
