Air Expendibles














Just yesterday I heard the news
Of a plane that dropped from the sky blues
Now that's common when you fly in nigeria
Planes fall like snow in siberia
But for idleness I asked who was onboard
And lo I heard its men with some blue blood
yokowa and azazi; names they called
Crashed to death in the dark creek's mud
Crashed they said though foul the sound
For killed I heard when the whispers came 'round
Listen and learn if you want to know more
As death is sent by men who hold law
Azazi was one who talked too much
About a party and a king and a burning church
He said we die because of PDP
And that the party is as poisonous as DDT
Now we all know what happpens to that lot
And to people who speak about the rot
Usually they get a letter bomb
And accidentally fall to an early tomb
But azazi died in a funny plane crash
and someone surely got bounty cash
To kill a man now thought a liability
And an embarassment to the dark fraternity
Now we all know the story of yokowa
Hated by those who wish he'll roll over
Those who profess a different faith
Who claim a right to govern kaduna state
Now we still know his death will be welcome
As a sacrifice to the boko haram problem
The party will wish him gone
But they have tools to see him gone
How convenient to have two liabilities
Who on a flight become fatalities
Two men who are a problem to the organized collectible
Conveniently died on 'Air Expendibles'

  1. I think i like your 'ab''ab' rhyme pattern. The main message is however unclear to me (being a poem greenhorn lolz)...'funny' plane crash? How's dat? I dont think 'ridicule' (especially of the dead) should be the subject matter in a tragic situation like this, unless i am mistaken in the subject matter.

  2. "funny plane crash" in the poem is intended to highlight the controversial and questionable manner in which the plane crashed. thanks for the comment bro
