Bangladesh's abrupt regime change

The students couldn't wait
until the fat lady sung,
so some heaved rocks
while others slung dung..
Bonded by the beat from
an umbilical drum,
protesting in the streets
as one, Hashina's authoritarian regime
was overcome.

I wonder what repercussions, all these latest incidents are going to make in the near future. However things don't seem so smooth. I fear it is adding fuel to an already inflammable situation.

Hi Ink, Actually, I got real bored with the local news: weather, fires, opiates, sports, pedophiles and a touch of national politics. Small suburb-rural area of perhaps 140,000..red, red, red..

Yes Tom, the people have spoken there. Hope all are peaceful in your neck of the woods, so much turmoil world wide. Blessings to you..
