Sexually Transmitted Grades Poem by DOMINIC PREMPEH

The fear of trailed papers and final failure
The pain of mockery of a failed brain
And the anxiety of the African lady to pass
Pushed them to the slippery road un-end

The lust of a wasted waist
Coupled with the libido of an educated illiterate
And the ecstasy in wasting people's wards
Pushed African lecturers to sex students

Sexually transmitted grades
Where one sex relieves one from trail
Making apathetic ladies surpass intelligent ones
And sex becomes the medium of exchange; shh!

These first class certificate-wielding pretty ladies
Yes, and I fear for the society they are in
For they have some STD's
Yes, Sexually Transmitted academic Degrees
