ROAD TO 2023 - (the debt-smith) By Oletu Oghenenyore C.

ROAD TO 2023 - (the debt-smith) 

survivors 
must pay the debt money
borrowed to support terrorism
that killed their loved ones
while news correspondents 
barely noticed the contracts
and groups dragging politicians 
and civil servants
to do the right thing 
only now wave the flag in pursuit 
of their own financial interests

the debt mountain is mutating
to the tonne of trillion in white Benjamins
and unpayable as well
yet Sai Baba is addicted 
to borrow more from any finger
mostly from the Ants of Asia
to aid his debt to Niger

2023 & beyond 
as Baba chill off in Daura
survivors will chisel off
the debt mountain 
at any cost.
