Land of Tragedy

Written by Nana Opare-Addo

 

 

The prominent flag quivers furiously

in a reckless flux, as the raucous

cacophony of squalling and bickering,

pervade. How did this land manage to

turn into one comparable with savagery

and chaos? While two beings of pompous

rank argue absurdly over which gains

ascendancy, our economy is dwindling,

impropriety and blasphemy are persisting,

and abdication is becoming a norm.

Will we stand up; unite as one?

Or, will we accept our ignominious fate,

here in the land of tragedy?
