Proud thief

Uhunoma Leonard Iyahen 1986 (United States)



I am a proud thief
I am so proud of what I do.
I embezzle public fund and my people smile, though they hate to smile.
I am the nation richest thief,
I have the power to steal and keep the money in the bank of Switz .
I am also a good leader I offer only night people fish and do not teach daylight people how to fish, so they do not get drown by the sea.
Now i am old thief ,I am about to die,
I have dug my grave and have all my riches  placed in it  so I can share it with death, when I die.
I am so smart , I am so kind,
I am like some nations government leaders.
