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
