CHANGE THAT NEVER BRINGS CHANGE

I heard the squabbling,
Even the dumb was murmuring;
Our country has suffered enough dent,
Who will be our new president?
For we are tired of desultory leaders,
We need a God sent as a leader!
A man chosen by our lust but ordained by God.
We were impatient to see a Messiah,
We were eager for a change of desire,
Then we all clamoured for CHANGE!!!
A change that would never bring a change.
Tempo was high as election drew near,
We heard that our youths would be paid for being lazy.
The media supported the end of religious crisis,
And with our lives, we held on to their empty promises.

...The election day finally unveiled,
Magic and miracle were displayed on the showglass,
But we preferred magic to a miracle.
We trampled on the personality of our hero,
And stood with arsenal awaiting our meek enemy
We watched as each ballot in the box went in our favour.

And finally,
Our man won!
A new era was born!
At last our dilapidated shall be renovated in four days,
And we shall say goodbye to our fears.
Seconds turn to minute and then to years.
We waited patiently for his magic,
Maybe that's the style in the new regime.
The man for the people suddenly became a man for nobody.
His punchlines that we thought were worthy
Were ironically said to prove our foolishness.
He sidelined the perfection of creation to the four walls of the kitchen.
Again we folded our arms on our chest,
As we pondered if he was like or even worse than the rest...

Now our story is better narrated by our bleeding hearts,
We live by hook or by crook.
Hand to mouth,
Since we've forgotten that we are rich.
And now we pray for his meeting with the ones that are no more living!!!
