Position and character
They have all senses in absence of position
To go haywire once in the presence of position
And it's like there's reputability before position
Just to deliver inability right after position
Is position an eraser that
Wipes out senses once in its territory,
Or like weeds that consumes
Essential subsistences to cause nefariousness?
If position is sovereign,
character is the servant,
As character makes wives,
Position turn wives to heads of homes
Position devalues religion values, the way it defies the rule of humanity.
It incite pastors to alter scriptures, turns a law enforcers to thieves
Thus, position is like ocean wherein character can't swim across
The world without positions
Is a world free of corruption
A universe with circumspection
As character would be able to blow away the cobwebs
