The Song and the Dance
It is a Shakespearen
play
It's the same stage,
The same old script
The same characters,
Only the cast are new
But the audience reacts
Differently to the play
The same scenario three
years ago.
But what happened?
So "change" has changed
The audience
Changed the circumstances
And probably changed the
facts.
It's the song and the dance
(Written on the 18th of May, 2016; a year after the 2015 General elections in Nigeria.)
