The queue said it all
Like ants filling out
Full of readiness for a change
Time ran out as they walked.
Cloud gathered as they talked
Queue meanders in large
All stopped at once
Some palms had pillars
Others ran with eyes behind.
Others waited to be beaten
The youth harrassed the elderly
They watch helpless but determined
To make the difference
Fight must be exercised.
After the intimidation
The queue came up again
We tool our turns
Some were tattered
Others were martyred.
After a day of suspense
The city bleed
Armed youths raped democracy
As in the past
We watched the rape.
We did nothing but gape
But the future wept.
