Anytime

Anytime a vulcanizer can't meet his clients' demands,
Anytime the food stored in the refrigerator gets spoilt due to electricity failure,
Anytime a baby wakes up and can't get to sleep because the fans can't be powered,
Anytime the pepper grinder in the market place has to switch on her generator,
O greedy, rogue politician, be sure you will be cursed.

Anytime there is an accident because the few traffic lights can't work,
Anytime the justice is perverted in order to "keep things a family affair,
Anytime a patient 's life is compromised because of poor health facility,
O greedy, rogue politician, be sure you will be cursed.

Anytime the shoddy contracts you have approved results in a problem,
Anytime the poor Nigerian worker's salary is delayed for months,
Anytime a pensioner dies while struggling to "verify" his identity for his entitlements,
O greedy, rogue politician, be sure you will be cursed
