Poetry: Songs of Bewilderment

Kandey Alhassan July 02, 2021 0

O young politicians,

who begged for votes at midnight, 

gained power, and forgot our basic right. 

And now, with so many mansions, 

still telling us the same old stories.

O young Politicians,

referring to politics as a game, 

but can’t play it like Paul Kagame.

Politics made you “Honorable”.

Hence, you make men look feeble.

O young politicians, 

upon all this golden opportunity, 

you want us to cheer your mediocrity,

for holding state resources hostage. 

Where from this silly courage?

O young politicians,

should we call the opticians? 

Maybe you can’t see people crying

Individual dreams are crawling

This isn’t time for relaxing

O young politicians,

reading this chorus.

Stop rendering us aimless

Rethink of becoming assertive

Then you can change the narrative

Poem by yours only,

✍️ Abdul Rahman Odoi
