Ageless Anguish Through Regimes
Twenty years in the past we looked
Twenty years in the past is today
Creaking and cracking unending for all
Masochist Regimes competing
He reigned with dark goggles twenty years past
The masses blocked off from the rays of governance
Through macabre masses reeled in military style
In penury all dwelled
In beards he stepped out to mock the saints
The people still floating and lost in their hope
Premeditated masochist’s democratic plan unleashed
In limbo all lay
We saw our very own Mandela
Escape from militarization wrongly imagined
Tyrannical imposition of corruption beheld
In shock, appreciation came
The academician turned politician should save
Conflicting confusing actions in relative short time
Corruption runs free wheel, while the master is away
In hopelessness all surrender
Good luck met overwhelming goodwill
A joke willed by the people to truly lead
The goggles have become transparent twenty years after
In idiocy all get joggled
