The Promised Land Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

A political bulldozer
Hard at work
Ideological garbage
Inserted in the minds
Of the poor and vulnerable
Every five years
Eyes are strained
Necks outstretched
In search of the promise land
No questions asked
Political trickery at play
A lot of soul searching
A lot of disappointments
A new beginning
Broadcasted on loudspeakers
Into the minds of the oppressed
A new beginning
Swallowed whole
The same error
Repeated for a life time
Democracy is a bitter pill
Taken every day
For a life time
To cure life
