Fatoki, Oluwatobi O. Government Poems
- 1. Undemocratic June 12.
Victory! Victory!! Victory!!! were the jubilations of June 12, 1993 witnessing the adjudged freest and fairest Democratic Presidential Election in Nigeria
Late Justice Dahiru Saleh, your hands were tied I believed not minding that history will never forget your name
Oh! What a day light robbery on our Democracy, SDP, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola and the entire Southern area
General Ibrahim Babaginda, you might be rich today but since 24th June, 1993 that you announced the annulment till date, oh! Tell me, where is now your positive fame?
... - 2. Not A Country, Not A Home.
There was a country
I used to know
Full of sweet bounty
To basic amenities, government dare not say No
... - 3. A Thin Line.
Just as the gallantry of ‘Araba’ is made a disgrace to ‘Iroko’ of a truth
So shall I avenge my death and sufferings on their fruits down to their roots
They cared for me like a chicken, but the next day; they slaughtered me like a fowl
My blood! My blood!! When would thou cry for vengeance in fulfillment of my vow?
...
