Making Sense of It All

Please help me in my confusion Come to my rescue Do not leave me sitting all alone On this lonely beach of abandonment Help me my brothers Help me my compatriots Help me you all men of good will To make a modicum of sense From all disconcerting confusion around me My country has become an enigma Difficult to fathom and rescue From self inflicted contradictions We were in the abyss of despondency We were in dire need To wriggle out from Economic strangulation Kidnapping and banditry General insecurity and insurgency Glaring leadership failure And like furious flash flood We trooped out with hope in our hearts With one goal in mind To cast our votes and make a change Particularly the youth eager To put their trust once more In a system bereft of any trust And like a Gale of disappointment Our hope came cascading down To the abyss of disillusionment And cacophony of claims and denials And waiting for the unseen hands of destiny To steer her from annihilation To the habitual and perpetual state of inertia
