Hope and the Future: E Go Better

Gyrating wildly at Wuse Market
Crescendo building as the percussion creates dissonance
A music without beats,
Celebration of voids, of hope so far away…

Rhetoric by politicians, stuffed into disaffected minds
Deceitful promises celebrated by panegyrists; and the
Innocent electorates, the claqueurs in a game without rules

Night comes swiftly, and the collective hypnoses wear away;
Okigbo writes dirges for the sweet memories never realized…

Yet, we wait in everlasting patience, hoping good luck shapes our fortunes
