The next quotes are from WOLE SOYINKA. He is a Nigerian Dramatist born 1934:
Power is domination control, and therefore a very selective form of truth which is a lie.
BUILT ON A LIE
Twisted non facts
Told and denied
Not taking it back
We know it's a lie
"But I didn't know"
More empty excuses
He spends all our dough
For frivolous uses
Won't work with the congress
He wants all the power
There is no hope for justice
With each political encounter
It's the use of the lies
That got him control
Now he is thoroughly despised
In his presidential role
The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny.
REST IN PEACE
The storm approaches the republic
But silence is all we will hear
From those who know it is coming
It's a tumultuous atmosphere
It hurts so to be demonized
Labeled a bigot or worse
People remain silent for fear of reprisal
It's a typical political curse
The storm arrives in the form of a tyrant
The silent have been brought to their knees
They have dragged the few vocal down with them
To suffer in their common disease
We have witnessed the death of our country
At the hands of a powerful tyrant
The warnings were not heard in our voices
Because too many chose to be silent
