Not These
by Elon Phiri
Not These, did we expect.
Neither, did we usher hunger.
Nor promote huge debts.
Look now, fellow Malawians living on buffalo beans.
Look now, Malawi is sinking in huge debts.
Brothers and sisters, do not worry.
Come 2025, the ballot shall speak.
*******
Not these, did we anticipate.
Neither, did we usher tribalism.
Nor enhance debilitating regionalism.
Look now, one tribe enjoying the whole cake.
Look now, Malawi becoming more regionalistic state.
Tears so soon to dry.
Come 2025, the ballot shall speak.
*******
Not these, did we foresee.
Neither, did we usher indifference.
Nor increasing poverty levels.
Look now, you have become more inconsiderate.
Look now, citizens becoming poorer and poorer.
Brothers and sisters, do not worry.
Come 2025, the ballot shall save.
*******
Not these, did we expect.
Neither, did we usher failed AIP.
Nor exacerbating corruption levels.
Look now, farmers failing to produce.
Look now, Malawi is a corruption zone.
Tears so soon to dry.
Come 2025, the ballot shall save.
*******
Not these, did we expect.
A government without a strategic direction.
A government without good economic policies.
A nation without effective fuel provision systems.
A nation without effective democracy enhancements.
Come 2025, the ballot shall answer.
