The game plan was perfect
And the outcome followed logic
A fresh shoot of democracy again clobbered.
Again the rehearsal was terrific!
With scenes of injustice reeling in our cine-politics
Since over decades two
He Lion over Etoudi has reigned
Bleeding the land down low
Yet his acolytes peace feign
In this state berserk by misery
Drowning under the yoke of inhumanity
And of Great achievements he speaks
Does he the stakes comprehend?
Does he a magic wand have?
Or
Does he his Leviathan seek to brave?
Yet
Faute de mieux
In disaster we shall relapse
Into a politique du pire… the birth of collapse
Of this fragile mass
Of which the Lord’s grace
He has bestowed for the masses
But who’ve not their share gained
And only suffering have seen rained
From people who fear losing in grace
People waiting only for the grave.
