A Disease Called Private Pocket Poem by Frank Adie

There is a dangerous disease called: "private pocket"
In this country, it is a "legitimate racket"
It has eaten deep into every fibre of our nation-
And it is posing a dangerous threat to the survival of the nation.

Every day we hear millions, billions and trillions,
But all these "lions" find their way into private pockets;
Allocations meant for the rehabilitation of our roads-
Find its way into private pockets.

Money meant to refurbish our schools-
Find its way into private pockets.
Funds meant to revamp our refineries-
Find its way into private pockets.

Cash meant to revitalize our industries-
Find its way into private pockets;
The loot recovered from PDP's private pocket-
Is finding its way into APC's private pocket.

The private pockets of the ruling class is very wide-
And our funds easily find its way inside;
Whereas the pockets of the poor masses have holes-
Whatever finds its way inside hardly stays.
