Goodluck Dances As The Nation Burns Poem by Michael Adeosun

Goodluck Dances As The Nation Burns

Let the sky fall,
let the nation burn,
even when we lost
count of the slaughtered,
The party will still go on.
Our king will still dance.
Today, he tells us
what we already know.
We must celebrate
to make the Haramites sad.
They must know we are not
shaken by the bombs.
All roads lead to the king's ball.
The King's party, I mean.
We are aware he lacks balls.
But who needs balls
When he has Luck.
Can a nation be more Luckier
than this?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, quintessentially nonchalant as the Islamic terrorist group kills and destroyed the northeastern part of the country. He would rather host a presidential party at this time.
