Dear African Politician, defying all
odds, you fight to enter into the cave
of power. Therein, is the actual test,
you fail time and again. What you lack
Is restraints while in greedy wants.
Restraint in wants is a skill to master, to
manage the several moments of greed.

You don't see yet, though, all shiny things
have danger tirggers, they are carefully
guided by a fire spitting dragon. That you
loot in successions and with success
Is a factor of the dragon's weakness.
It loves to sleep and snore quietly. Oh!
these shiny things.

It is why you keep taking what does
not belong to you, even as you have
been given your ample share from
the plenties in the cave. It is why you
keep eating up portions of cakes that
you know, it belongs to the masses.
You overeat and send empty platforms
down the food chain.

Dear, African...
