Dear Politician

Politicians (for I dare not call you leaders), make no mistake about it, we have absolutely no respect for you. You're like the drug addict that forever promises to clean up their act just to disappoint us again. Wait, you're worse, because the drug addict at least has the intention to. And the drug addict just finishes himself, not everyone else. Everyone else is only heartbroken. We are wising up (finally). We are not like your mother, we do not have the same unconditional love (or tolerance). We are the world. And as you know, asiyefunzwa na mamaye, hufunzwa na ulimwengu. We are not waiting for you to clean up your act.

Fools governing
I promise not insult you
as much as you insult our intelligence
This we have proof
From your constant deliquence
The little that you do
and still be full of self importance

I have to hold back
From shaking you till you teeth rattle
I've tried to give you the sack
But that is entirely another battle
We just get the same people back
Our voters cards should be written "Recycle"

But now we've awakened
and caught you the countless times you've lied
And we have been forsaken
Every time you vowed never to leave us behind
We may look like we've forgotten
But Lord knows we are not blind

I'd ask you how you live with yourself
But I guess it's with great unease
I am not coming to your defense
And I am a little pleased
As I watch the mess
that you've created eat you like a disease

Sorry, no insults, I promised
And I still believe I've kept it
I only wanted to warn you not be surprised
That we have finally prepared your exit
Because we now cease
to allow fools to govern ME.
