NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi
Pious praying Peter
Hope peters out in our crumbling house
Where empty stomachs rumble with hunger
Like the clap of thunder
Pious praying Peter
The wearying wars wear us out
See our feet pounding streets for jobs
Like pestle pounding yam in mortar
Pious praying Peter
The exchequer is emptied of money
To bulge the Lords’ pockets with dough
So their wealth piles higher than Mt. Everest
Pious praying Peter
Our lives are candlelights
Shining at the mercy of the wind of insecurity
Making them flicker at every turn
Pious praying Peter
Your presence elicits rousing cheers
That drowns their ugly jeers
Down the ocean in the race for the crown
