Burundi

Burundi 
Elusive it is the dream of peace 
and the Burundi the president is seeking a third term, 
but the people say NO, and fight for
a fair election, in dusty streets. 
Africa has had enough of presidents who will  not
 give up power and lucrative ill-gotten gains.
People of Burundi, I salute you.
