The Song and the Dance

It is a Shakespearen 
 play
It's the same stage,
The same old script
The same characters,
Only the cast are new
But the audience reacts
Differently to the play

The same scenario three
 years ago.
But what happened?
So "change" has changed
The audience
Changed the circumstances
And probably changed the
 facts.
It's the song and the dance
 (Written  on the 18th of May, 2016; a year after the 2015 General elections in Nigeria.)
