I have seen
But could be in trouble if I say
I have seen a wife
lied to her husband
that she's away to see her mum
when in actuality
promiscuity took her from Ibadan to Lagos
I have seen a husband
pretending before the wife to be broke
but giving luxury to Bola the side chick
getting home late with excuse on traffic
raining curses on his innocent boss
I have seen some children
multiplying tuition fee by four
for flex and designer tops
prodigious living on parent's loan
I have seen
But could be in trouble if I say
I have seen pickpockets
at bus stops during rush hour
unleashing their terror
but "fem" my mouth is shut
I have seen MDs
who pretend to be kind
desperate to taste honey in jar
before giving out the job
"use what you have to get what you want"
Congratulations, resume on Monday
I have seen business owners
selling their products and services
with exaggerated qualities
Mere falsity for pecuniary gains
I have seen
But could be in trouble if I say
I have seen politicians
promising heaven on earth
sugar-coated mouth of men and women
failed promises in four years or eight
I have seen celebrities
flaunt wealth and bask in affluence
expensive life for the gram
may be suffering and smiling
I have seen pastors
stage miracles
heresies and misinterpreted scriptures
dancing to devil's tune at midnight
most righteous at daytime
My eyes have seen
My ears have heard
But I could be in trouble if I say
