BY JOSEPH SOBOKA
The world is foiled with hypocrisy
Under the guise of inept democracy,
Empty talks of fairness and impartiality
That heightens the scheme of absurdity.
As there is little to trust
We should forget it as we must.
By flexing its muscles of money and gun
Threatens Ethiopia for no wrong she has done.
Story of love and care to it is unknown
Since its thorns of greed are fully grown
The US celebrates unwarranted democratic jubilee
That is mischievously planted like acacia tree.
Immovable is its surreptitious plan
That divides the people into ethnic and clan.
Coercing the nations everywhere
US holds insidious meetings here and there.
Summons her allies from around the globe
To plot against nations and their rights to rob.
Many countries summoned for participation
Even though she is in utter desperation
The topic is her fruitless democracy
That only satisfies her spirit of ecstasy.
The participants seem to be hand-picked
The rest cast away and politically tricked.
Is it deliberate or due to acute dementia?
That she left out Ethiopia, China and Russia.
From the seemingly world-rocking forum
Or might she fail to steady its fulcrum?
The US and allies preach democracy
That is filled with debasing intricacy
It devours honesty and sincerity
Giving birth to economic disparity
Many have just fallen victims to it
Hoping to gain the promised benefit
But it has sent friends into delirium
Give up their rights and easily succumb.
The super power and allies traverse the planet
And allure nations into their big hollow net.
These fishermen never yield to reason
As overwhelmed by nation-killing treason
Their fake argument is weary
And their propaganda dreary
Rejecting the truth, they cling to lies
They never heed to the victims cries.
With fiery condemnation the nations they fry
The victims live sobbing and weeping they die.
Africans are most tortured so mercilessly
Despite such treatment they enrich generously.
The perpetrators are never grateful
They’re abusive and even more hateful.
The abominable merciless conqueror
Incarcerates nations in its camp of labor
Enjoys the servitude of its captives
And little cares for helpless natives.
This has been her way and will be so
Thus, she’s determined any distance to go
Ethiopia struggles for her safety
That embodies liberty and fraternity.
No power can snatch the national legacy
Be it economy or Biden’s democracy.
Their Democracy that promotes evil deeds
Condemns those who uphold the right creeds
The stealthy maneuver of neocolonialism
Can never trample on Ethiopia’s patriotism
Any attempt to do so enmity it breeds
No other solution, but to war it leads.
The sly diplomacy that the US promotes
Is interwoven by nation-wrecking plots
She employing strategic imposition
She aspires to impose her disposition.
She deceptively foils the objective reality
Raises her scepter as a gesture of impunity
Yet, she fancies the enemy, the erring party
That’s sheer indication of her true ignominy.
Undemocratic elements ganged up on Ethiopia
With false rhetoric and unprofessional mass media
The news of rape and harassment is to their joy
They’re happier when terrorists kill and destroy.
Burned mosques and church is what they like to see
But the situation will be reverse as soon as it can be.
Their democracy isn’t as it should, after all
It is shameless intimidation and coercive control.
All these injustices summed up become gray war
They’re not satisfied; they’re still looking for more.
We too will fight to our best
We will leave to God as for the rest
Let them get together shriek, cry and roar
Yet, Ethiopians say, enough and No More!
Hypocrites
No more movement
Neo-fascist TPLF leaders
