SO BE IT

POEM

For the last five years,

you were the ruler

and we were the ruled.

While you were in the throne,

we did ensure that

you must be prevented

from enacting legislations

by blocking them

be them good or bad for our citizens.

We were like an irresponsible opposition

and made a mess of everything.

Now it is our turn.

We are the rulers and

you the ruled

for the next five years, if god permits.

We are sure,

you will be determined

to flummox us,

and obstruct us from

enacting several legislations.

Filibuster, in American parlance.

Be it you or us

whoever hold the reins of power

the ultimate sufferers are our citizens.

So be it……
