Words of Dimplomacy

with their words they embark our minds on a a journey, a journey to the garden of Eden, where we would have jobs, houses, clean water, electricity, education and better infrastructure. "Were they claim to have improved our standard of living". their words perplex us, traps us, deceives us like illiterate fools we are, their actions humor us, enlightens us, thrills us, all in the name of the X. Their songs takes us back ,back to the days of struggle, sorrow and silence. Days that paved that gravel road from where we were in 1994. they do this, all this, in the name of democracy, hiding behind it,loving inside it, breathing within it, like cacoons, while we make noise like baboons protecting them. For what?, For them to be rich?, for them to transact our votes for lies?. damn CAPITALIST. Their words welcomes offshores with both hands and prohibits my brother from another border, who suffers because of their policies, protocols, in-competencies, and laws of flaws, from where he comes from. Were the idea of democracy looms on his poor and literate head. Were liberation and democracy was guaranteed, but not freedom. Which looms in my head, were the idea remains on my head, manifest in my heart, runs in my veins, arteries and soul. Where the idea will have to be vowed out, the idea which i will have to pass to my descedants
