Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fragments Of Poetic Thoughts (37)

I am confused,

I see pictures,

I hear voices

but i already know,

for quite a while now,

that my cold logic

is not a match for cunning

technology:

Photoshop defeats my philosophy

white can be black;

and black can be anything.

My brother,

I am really confused

Democracy is terrible business:

a voice can be presidential

even when the body is missing!

All hail our disembodied President!

All hail Nigeria's democracy!

A voice Speaks.
"The President
From vacation speaks",
The select few
Sing.
Adeshina sings with them.

Dear Adeshina,
How do you know
That that voice
Have presidential body?

CAO.
