UniVANITY Class










Where sober studies secures no surety for pass
If you know no one, you are a solemn smart-ass
Alas!
What is left of what is right in this university class?
Where students are packed together like the burial of the mass
If you are at the extreme, you need aid from an eye glass.
What is left of what is right in this university class?

Where a lass
Will put on skimpy things to display the flower in her vase's verse.
The thought of avoiding her is an impasse.
Who is to be blamed if she were harassed?
The beautiFOOLS buy pass with their asses
Whereas
The lads dare not play the tune of trespass
Lest they dance SHOKI to the rhythm of repass.
What is left of what is right in this university class?
where we queued at the school's ATM point as
Chelsea fans expecting goal from Fabregas
And I heard from behind a sounding bass
"O boy, commot make I pass"
I looked back and saw a cock-like guy with a comb of "Gallas"
I varnished like gas
Because the guy is a cult brass.

What is left of what is right in this university class.
Where I picked a book from the library's glass
And cockroaches ran to greet me en masse,
Because the library and the books' ages have passed.
Those who top the class
Graduated with lower class
While truants top with an undeserved first class.
The riot of the Alutas
Cause the breaking of school glasses.
Lecturers are on the run, escaping from cutlasses.
Students are led away by SARS
In black marias.
Their future is barred behind bars
Alas!

What is left of what is right in this university class?
Aquila's skimpy things isn't just an entertaining farce
GRRaciano's 12 Million Nonsense's SCENEsation isn't in planet Mars
You, you and you seated waiting to be razzed
By these lines spat by these poets will surely clean shave and surpass
The debris and edicts cascading from Asshole rock's carcass
Yes I'm optimistic because this is what is left of what is right,
Uni-vanity class.


PS:
SHOKI is a type of dance in Nigeria.
Like the former Arsenal Defender's style, William Michael Gallas..., "Gallas" is an haircut. Aluta is a name for Nigerian students' lawful protest.
