Divide and rule

The conquerors long ago started the trend

Of poisoning minds to divide and rule

Our leaders are now doing the same

So that gullible public they may fool…

To garner votes they play this deadly game

It fills our minds and hearts with shame

When they point at others to name and blame

And themselves offer some excuses lame.

Critics are silenced or put behind bars

While leaders flaunt themselves as stars

This trend is now spreading fast

God forbid if it does last -

For they are blind to the fact the country will lose

If they, this ugly pathway, choose.
