From sucking blood to soaking with blood
Corrupt, we were
Sucking citizens’ blood dry
Devoid a conscience
That asks us “Why?”
As they have
Unseated us
From power,
When democracy is mentioned
Since it is our bent to cower,
As a retaliatory measure,
Atavists, we shall make
Them take with their blood
A shower.
We shall shift
From sucking blood
To soaking our hands
With blood,
Which we love to see
Flowing like a flood.
