The State of Fear

By David Aoloch Bion

———–

The big man fear to punishes political crime like

Corruption, threat to use violence, embezzlement, treason…etc

Because he foresees himself being punished after he leaves

Because he is wrong somewhere too

If I were him, I must discipline them now

And then they do to me what they like later

After all I have the Excellency title, wealth, happy family

What hell should I fear of?

———-

The legislators fear to raise independent, political motion in the House

Because they fear House being dissolved,

Lost their jobs and they starved of hunger on street

If I were them, I would pass laws that are best interests of million voiceless

That will prevent dictatorship of any kind and

That will put me in limelight of history

Then I died of hunger on my bed

After all I have Honourable title, wife and children

What hell should I fear of?
