O-n this day in history, electorate gave the
mandate.
L-ords of that time annulled an election,
an unfair decision to the citizenry, a
decision without a reason.
A-nnulment it was, that was the worst
J-uggernauts!, were they? who were?
I-ntention in doing that was in fact
opposed
D reams were shattered, some were
battered, alas, others passed on
E-mphasis on the struggle for
Democracy is paramount, and one can
not overemphasise the importance.
O-verjoyed, to hear the announcement
R emembrance at last, honours deserved
I-n my time, some critics of politics are
alarmed by the honours: honours long
overdue
A-ccolades: finally given, accolades
deserved
M-artyr: A Martyr is reborn
I-s Mediocrity in our Democracy over and
can we empower Democracy to
overpower Mediocrity and sustain
Democracy.?
S-olidarity is forever, our rights, our lives
E-mbrace our dreams, we breathe
Happy
Democracy
Day
