Shenenigans Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Shenenigans



Before UN
Or the global limelight
Flagrant, let us talk
"GERD we threaten to attack,
If for technical reasons
It suffers a crack
Will wipe out
Down stream dwellers
With the water it
Carries on its back."

Upstream dwellers
Our brothers,
With all sorts of trouble
That we try to envelop
And around whose neck
We spare no effort
To put a rope
Could develop
Coerced for hydropower
To grope.

We have to double
Our dabble
At the eleventh hour
To create
A trouble.
