Unprecedented Upheaval

Unprecedented upheaval provokes an extraordinary energetic current, we're ready to march alongside others to the high walls of the palace of those  who now wear the stolen crown, the mandate of the people. they call it hope renewed, but where's the hope in broad day thievery the doggedness of our professors who expel students for malpractice now questionable for their shenanigans is now on display for all to see the assurance of hope shattered, the voice of the people shunned. we must look like a joke to this bigots, this looters of our nations treasury, who watched as the people's mandate is raped vicariously without empathy we march in solidarity for the bridegroom who has been dehumanized, and his bride violated before his eyes, it's a black Wednesday for the people of my country as we watch this horrid events unfold. they call it a game, and say the winner takes it all but this is a game too risky but what do I know, I am just a poet lending my pen, to the whims and caprices of my country this unprecedented upheaval provokes an emotional rage but we will march in peace, our protest is 'good governance' or nothing.
