Bat, batists and bandits

By Uduma Kalu

Drugs and doggerel. Drawbacks. Murders and bandits.

More than a million.

Frauds. Frogs of all forms

Fly out

And file from furrows

And take over.

Their leader is chief fraud

Fishing out drugs

For fellows and family.

The role call is complete.

The role call continues... convicted, conflicted,

All confirmed by courts here and there.

The family takes over

The family has a new name....

A brand new name..

Bat, batists and bandits.

But their real name is simple: bandits.

Looting is their mandate to stand.
