   SYCOPHANT
   Let the tendrils of ambition
   Sprout eternal lust for power
   In the heart of uncultured men
   Counting lost hours

   Our nation shall purge them
   Free of their inordinate desires
   We list our gains
   Not of a messiah

   We sing religiously…

   Dirges of men
   Whose memories are best obliterated
   Exude histrionics and
   Hype overrated

   African dead are exalted
   And their transgressions mystified
   Wretches,whose cancerous
   Policies we deify

   We worship our leaders
   Undeserving from the roof
   Of the grave of our mouth

   Men whose bloating corruption
   Wafts obnoxious odour uncouth

   Salient compulsion
   Keeps me from sycophantic tantrums
   By keeping mute
   For the repose of the dead
