NEW NAIRA CHAOS

The abrupt decapitalization
have set hovering dark clouds
Cash flow seems mysterious
but, in reality is just a
case of mathematics
The chief policy makers
have awakened a swarm of bees
thronging on every financial institutions
We're now stranded birds

About This Poem

Last Few Words: As the scarcity of new naira notes stifle economic activities, the Central Bank of Nigeria has attributed the continued scarcity of new naira notes to hoarding in certain quarters of the country.

This is really good but I have a two or three suggestions, whichever way you look at it

have set a hovering dark clouds

Either remove the *a* or the *s* on clouds.

have awaken(ed) a swarm of bees

Other than those suggestions I think this is a really solid write

Well done!

Kind regards Jayne

are no longer safe! I couldn't get a dime in my own bank today after spending 5 hours. All efforts was a futile attempt. Bank officials telling us NO MONEY IN THE BANK. Very frustrating!

is already a mess! Everything turned upside down. Poor masses are the victims. The old notes ceased to be legal tender since 10 of this month yet the availability of the new notes are not to be found in any of these banks. People are dying here.
