Of Plenipotentiary

Plenipotentiary

Plenty potentially
Investigative documentary
the new dispensary
jurisprudentially
acting presidentially
Plenty treachery
Corruption exponentially
Minting the treasury
Gold for laundery
None see penitentiary
Ordinary citizenery
Grinding providentially
Obeying prophetically
Reduced to beggery


A short poem inspired by a word I learnt from the Gold Mafia Documentary

    I think you should send your poem to Al Jezeera.

      Thank you
      Had just learnt a new word and was feeling “inspired” also wanted to capture the spirit of the moment and its underlying subtext
