THAT POOR LEADER

A poor leader somebody cries at a little heat
She finds accountability a defeat
And frowns like kakayi without win meat
Whenever responsibility calls for her seat
All she knows is mouths drumming praises for her dancing feet

2.
That poor leader somebody stands for none
Knows no one
Protects no one
And does nothing she can

3.
She will talk none
For she fears a callout
So you can walk from Bolga to Kumasi
Get hit by a bus at the tail end of Abeasi
Her Comfort is all she is about

4.
So I ask,
Why wear a crown which shines not your deeds?
I have to ask,
Why force a lead
When your mouth plants no seed?
Oh I ask,
Why is a chicken acting eagle?
I need to ask,
Why is a goat acting like a lion?

5.
That poor leader somebody has clouds on her face
Even in bright daylight
She has thunders on her face
Even in eternal summer
Her mouth always leads her presence
Even when problem is absent
Making me wonder her inner chaos

6.
May sense fall on seats of power
For the incapable to see it as an unclimbable tower
To leave best spaces for best faces
For none wins when a worm acts like a cobra
In a reptile-cat fight

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
