Is Mallam a victim or villain?
Is Mallam Isa a victim or villain?
Charged with theft,Oh! what a legal slain;
A villain for the mishandling of the mysterious bag,
And a victim to the Kuffour's strange political tag.
"Absolute zero tolerance for corruption",he boldly remarked.
A mistakable policy he has dangerously embarked.
For he who dwells in a political mansion full of glass,
Should not have irrespective of his political class,
Deliberately thrown at any direction a political stone.
Which would suddenly evoke a new political tone.
