Amidst an awesome February 11, 2009, a bustard son was born.
To revers
the gains of an election and thwart a people's hope.
He was named
Government of National Unity...
Those who were not just
became, a part of an extravargant lot...
Porsche cars and
protruding stomachs, big outings and more wine...
But how come, the people ask? Can losers join hands with winners?
Our trust has been sold out, so they say...
We look up, we look down,
we even search inside our closets,
for things once hoped for bt never
obtained... Is it national unity or national mutiny?
We the
people have suffered, the gods have sealed the heaven with a dark
waterproofed rock,
very soon they will seal our tombs as no rain
threatens to fall from this dark cloud called national Unity...
A new
form of oppression has arisen to blind fold the generation of
hardworking people,
it is called national unity!
