MR POLITICIAN By; Ozioma Ogbaji

When words are spoken
They should mend hearts that are broken
When words are spoken
They should not cause hearts to be broken

When triggers are pulled
They should spray bullets or gun powder
When triggers are pulled
Cries of defeat and victory should become louder

When you speak
Your words are best unspoken
Cause when you speak
My heart is not mended but broken

When you shoot
I am far from giving thanks
Cause when you shoot
You happily shoot blanks

When I speak
I particularly speak to you
When I speak
Mr politician, my words are for you

When I give you my fours years
My heart should one day give you thanks
When I give you my four years
and gun, please do not shoot blanks
