POLITICS OF THE GALLOWS

According to Ross Perot, "War has rules, mud wrestling has rules - politics has no rules." This aptly apply in my country where the politicians has turned the nation into a chess, the devil as coach. In one way or the other we are affected by the activities of our leaders. By their actions and inactions - our reactions and actions the society is shaped. The poems in this book are laced with emotions and realities of life in my country. Will Rogers once said: "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts." In my own words I would say I don't write poems, I just watch the government and 'right' the facts. The poems in this book are inspired by real political events that span decades.
