BOOING

The darts of booing came in torrents like the July rain
As the President presented the national budget
Unwarranted booing from an unexpected quarter
The National Lawmakers became unlawful when honour called
Turning the Hallowed Chamber into a hollow court
Is it a congregation of unruly street urchins in a chamber for the nobles?
Our distinguished and honourable compatriots desecrated
The embodiment of our national integrity
Political partisanship has blinded the reasoning of nation builders
How did we get to this charade?
Are we now a people of nation destroyers?
Why has anarchy been let loose in the Chamber of purpose?
Are the fathers not to train the children in the way they should go?
What legacies are the youths of tomorrow being bequeathed?
Is it a legacy of disjointed loyalty?
Is it a legacy of lost tomorrow?
Is it a legacy of bleak and blighted hope?
Is it a country of disrespect for elders and institutions?
Those who disgrace the Mace and Chamber do not deserve our accolade
Those who acted like demented hoodlums at the market square
Are not befitting of our song and chant
Give us men and women of decorum in the next elections
And not people that behave like the boisterous wind in the desert.
