Poly-Tricks Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

A mirror shattered
Images left on the floor
Distorted faces full of confusion
Unbelievable stories of lies and betrayal
Hangs on the wall of shame
No one owns the truth
Fake stories are the breaking news
Politics of the stomach
The loudest mouth gets the best audience
Money talks
Life's realities abandoned
Left to rot in the hands of the poor
There is no shame anymore
Politicians have assumed total power
The people are powerless
Democracy is a handicapped monument
Overlooking the suffering of the masses
A false flag of hope hangs loose on his hands
A narrative of a rotten world
