'We Smell Lies, We Sell Truth' by Oloyede Joshua Adekunle

Family favours favouritism

Mothers’ favourites,sons

Fathers’apple eyes,daughters

We smell lies

Lies’ tie tied around our cords

Teachers teaching cheat

Cheat cheating teachers

Corruption crisis

Broken walls falling

We smell lies

Law-makers lording law with lies

Lies lording law-makers’ laws

Clash of titans

Constitution suffers,tragedy

We smell lies

Family flees favouritism

Fathers’ favourites,vchildren

Mothers’ apple eyes, offsprings

Lies loosed from our oesophagus

We sell truth

Tutor torturing cheat

Cheat tortured by tutor

Fair balance denouement

Jerusalem’s wall rebuilding

We sell truth

Leaders leading with equality

Equality, leaders’ leading’s quality

Conflict resolved, comedy

Constitution supremacy

We sell truth

We smell lies,

We sell truth.
