Change, Changi and Shangiliti
They are liars
Ah! Men are liars
The mouth of a liar sheds no blood
His mouth tastes so sweet as honey
Until he Changed it
Until he Changed our minds
He shortchanged the people's expectations
He suddenly becomes an Identified Flying object(IFO)
But no more money to feed the needy
He Changed his promise many times
Like a chamelion would Change its colors
Then like a Leopard he never Changed its spot
Our cities in total blackout
Water has dried up in our homes
Our roads are a paralysis of long queues
He rejoices too much because he kills a goaliath
He thinks not about the jobless army of youth
He thinks not about our girls
Is this Change,Changii or Shangiliti

I dedicate this poem to KONGI~Professor OluWole Akinwande Soyinka
