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!
