Change deferred by Olaniyi Adekanye |Poem

What happens to a change deferred? 
Does it dry up on the corridor of lips of service mis-chiefs?
Or lost in Aso shame-ber
Like the Chibok primemates in Sambisa?

Does it sink in the technocrats' pits of mind?
Or melt away in the scorching stare of opposition?
Does it ride on a democratic local-motive? 
Or derailed from the topographic blunt rails of yore?

Maybe like what happens to the sacked without severance
Or the killed without viaticum …
We dread this mis-
                            er
a
          bi-lism
