Democracy Poem by SylvaOnyema (SUPER.T) Ubah

Democracy



Voices crescendo
Echo like endless music

Our pockets are full of talks
Little works
Plenty 'yabbis'

Bridges and roads
Cry for holy wedlock

Schools and hospitals
On bent knees

Drunken bags travel
Across the red sea
To greet his loyal majesty

Is this democracy
Or corruptcracy?

Only the tall tick time will tell.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Democracy which has been defined as the government of the people, by the people and for the people is seen by the poet here as a mere cosmetic expression of polity. The African leaders need to give democratic dividends to those who elected them rather than deceiving them to vote for them.
