Dzekashu Macviban

Tyrants and sycophants sit with comfortless memories
Perturbed by past, illegal and gory glories


Their future reserves nothing but gloom
Unlike their bygone days of bloom


The wheel turns, causing many a great fall
Togo has seen a fall -


Who will be the next - off


Oftentimes I wonder why meek rulers change when at the top
Forgetting the future - inevitable drop!



On the fall of Togolese ruler,
Gnassingbe Eyadema,2005.
