2009

By Pacharo Felix Munthali
As the parties and the referee warm up
Towards this ostentatious match
Hosted at the Match-Mecca
My psyche is soaked
In the web of flummox
Beyond stratosphere
Expectations echoing
Hope once more called hope
All to the same God begging favours
Another year is here
Another boogie to enjoy
For comedians and orators
Lunatics and the principled
To manipulate and obfuscate the gullibles
2009
The dancing year
The dust swirling
Tears once more
Another mixed bag
