MEET THE AFRICAN PRESIDENT,COURTSEY OF THE PENDING ELECTIONS, by Edward Dzonze

We have just been granted a glimpse of His Excellency the African president, riding through the town on a tortoise' back, dishing out brand new notes from the bank. We have been granted a glimpse courtesy of a pending election pitying the poet and the poem on bringing the president to the people. From down the road He smiles and waves at the kids starring at him through the window. So serious are his guards who cannot see him going mad demanding to have coffee with me in my residency, Declaring his cause as pretty much imminent. Having coffee with a daring poet who brought him to the streets without his consent. Riding through past traitors and dissidents unhurt, past patriots and party activists without seeing them saluting. The African president vowed he will never leave my residence without meeting the wordsmith himself. Dont deny it when I say I am a realist because if the poem cant invite him here dont expect the poet to do so anytime soon, he knows pretty much the president moves in a motorcade.
