We had dared to hope... <br /> <br />We supported. <br />Campaign chants in the streets <br />Friendly fans on the air <br />A behind on the throne <br />That had once graced our floors <br />Our man! <br /> <br />Slowly emerging was the year <br />It's advancing light <br />Lending light to our hopes <br />Still yawning from merriment <br />The shell was dropped. <br />Bewildered! <br /> <br />The cries went to the streets <br />The hands laid off the work <br />N65 or nothing! <br />Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! <br />N97 it is <br /> <br />Head turned from side to side <br />Robbed daily of nothing <br />The last had been stolen <br />Our dog had opened the gates wide <br /> <br />We dared to trust <br />Our calico's now pulled away <br />Our sores! The flies! ...<br /><br />Ehi Abah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-such-matters/
