Buharinol
(A poem dedicated to ANPP presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, rtd)
By
Muhammad Jameel Yusha'u
When the insects of
Indiscipline spread and
The leaf of patriotism dries
Buharisecticide should be applied
When the nation shivers from the
Fever of corruption and the polity
Is plagued by the diarrhoea of uncertainty
Buhariquine should be administered
When the typhoid of selfishness
Affects the conscience of the leaders
And a strong antibiotic is required
Buharixin is an alternative
When embezzlement damages
The eye of transparency and the lens
Of accountability searches for drug
Buharimphenicol is the choice
When politics of ideology
Is auctioned and principled
Politicians are scarced
Buharicracylin is the option
When the treatment of the ailment
Loses direction and attempt
For an alternative proved abortive
Give Buharinol a trial
When the pen fed up with
The prescription of caution and
The poem needs antibiotic of stability
Buharicillin is highly effective
