On The Political Podium Poem by Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu

In our ears
The sound of music
The singers sing on
From stages up high
Their voices echoing in our heads
The drummers drum on
A boost for the singers to sing on
Excitement fills the atmosphere
The dancers move to the rhythm
The rhythm that foretold the coming of a new day
A day full of hope
Hope for the end of despair
The despair that the people feel
Tears will be replaced by smiles
Yet to the child the drums’ beats
And to the adult the singers’ lyrics
