FAILING EXPECTATIONS

FAILING EXPECTATIONS Great were our expectationsWhen you were called to lead, stillGreater than that of your forebearsWe had high hopes, when you came Vision twenty-ten came and wentInconstancy trails electricity supplyThat gulped huge amount of moneyNow we have twenty-twenty-twenty You left with a promise to come backAfter the liberation songs were sangTo help reorganise the ailing systemAnd build a nation true and true You tossed us a white elephant projectBacked by acts, decrees and lawsTo justify the release of fundYet, you came not with anything You have never redeemed your pledgesTo listen to you is to be deceivedNot that I doubt your sincerity, not the leastJust that it is the way things go with you You mean well, that is all I can sayWhy is it that nothing works with you?Everything is a volume of storiesOn why the mountain did not come to you
