Behold they lurk
Trying so hard tu blend
The unattentive to rend
Away from the steel caged wheels
Rolling round the choke-filled city ways
only to milk a living
For state and humanity they feign
Yet know we all
For self and senior they pine
Suffering the same they swore to protect
Deviously concocting new rules on the go
To forcefully ferret another's gold
On threat of the law
Heartless, cold, unfearful of the divine
Lost souls in gabs of every shade and guile.
Femi Osikoya (2010)
