PLAYING VERSUS PARTICIPATING IN POLITICS.

Nigerians play politics,
Just as they play football.
They follow the bouncing
Political fortunes, and bounce
From party to party.

Real Politicians participate
In politics, intercept the
Bouncing ball, and make
Moves based on beliefs,
Conviction and abilities.

Those politicians that follow
The bouncing political ball,
Have no beliefs, conviction or
Ability to make plays, but are
Sycophants, jobbers, and thugs.

Political goals, more rewarding,
As a participant, than as
A player, who plays politics,
As well as being played,
By politicians and politics.
