O BUHARI, MY CHAMPION. ‪#‎21Haiku‬

...by Poetic Tee, "Here, take a sip"




Once upon a time

By a coconut tree stood you
O disciplined one.

Weeds, pests in our farm
Nip in the bud, commenced you
Paused. Left for one day.

A winner you are
Upright, corrupt-free that's you
Sound qualities, apt.

They detest your rise
The guilty's afraid of you
Time for crimes ensured!

A race you ran once
Against a strong tide and you
Won, but was denied.

Amalinze stood
My Okonkwo, his champ, you
The villagers shun.

A rematch confirmed
To the gods they stoop, but you
Posterity judge.

A boat hit by storms
Ravaged, infested, then you
Cried for its pains. Sad.

Quitters never win
Many drum those beats for you
Winners never quit.

Come, O Sure-footed
Goliath vanquisher, you
David of old, now.

Ask Obasanjo
*Yar'Adua, floor each did you
That list, add Jo too.

Taste both Shekarau
Ribadu defeat by you
12 million votes!

Kwankwaso, Rochas
Ndah, Atiku and you
Penta-democrats.

They gathered to choose
One from amongst five and you
God Has Seen through. True.

In a fair contest
Here, anywhere with you
Truth will always win.

Nigeria will
Learn democracy in you
APC, the civil.

A land distressed
By a cruel monster, yet you
A giant killer, slew.

I slept hugging hope
Afraid for myself and you
I woke, reassured.

PVCard or none
My vote is strictly for you
Mr. President Sir.

I will kiss the moon
Touch the scorching sun if you
Become king again.

For I dreamt of it
Brilliant light shines over you
Smiles dance to sweet sounds.
