POLITICAL DEFLECTION

Peoples’ voices are drowned

Out by the media noise.

Lost in the digital spaces where no one can hear.

Is it on purpose?

To live in our fear?

It doesn’t bode well.

Can you see a hopeful future?

All I can see is

Lost time and hopes.

Do you care?

Even as you sit in your planes.

Flying across the provinces.

Lying to our faces.

Even though we demand answers.

Corruption flows freely.

Twisting the truth and our faith

In ourselves and our country.

Or do you get a thrill from destroying us slowly?  

No more.
