TIGON

There’re forces that ‘d pay homage

As commandants of the nation’s pride

But they came to hold all hostage

Imposing only but hopeless ride:

One’s a tiger blinded with goggles

The other’s a lion with leopard’s colour

 

It’s a league of military baa–fool

That wanted to make everyone a fool:

One came into power

Through tactical negotiation

The other came

Through the madness called election…

Rigging and raping democratic ethos.

 

For the corrupt anti–corruption crusaders

It’s business more than as usual:

One stocked out billions

To sustain the economy

The other wasted more billions

On jamboree clubs’ infamy…

All in the name of wooing foreign investors.

 

It’s a case of all-round allusion not illusion

That the masses become tired of complaint:

One’s bluntly arrogant

Displaying madness within confines of rocks

But the other’s rascally insensitive;

Claiming to know it all

Only to suffer from poverty of ideas!

Despite the morbid oversea trips, junketing all days.

And being arrogant in ignorance,

he’s to be worshipped in foolishness!

 

For the citizenry it’s pure massacre

That blood letting’s but a daily routine:

Under one’s regime

Political enemies ’re dealt with

But the other killed millions

Just to make billions –

By allowing the masses to die of frustration.

It’s a hay day for democratic rape

That he smiles making man an ape!

 

And my conclusion…

The hybrid’s a Tigon:

The looter of the looted funds

That in this regime, there’s no comfortable

living but hunger

As each day bring to the masses more darkness

Making them innocent victims of idiotic madness.

 

What a bold stand for morality

That we turn rapists after the preachment

What a display of stupid arrogance

Setting up anti-corruption commission

by the most corruptible…

Oh what use’s catching a thief by a thief   If not to make thievery a religion?

It’s anarchy everywhere. Everyone’s in mega pains…

And it’s this, the buffoons do.
