Change Or Chain? Poem by DANIEL ESSIEN

CHANGE OR CHAIN?
when we shouted cha..nge
Did we mean chain..
What was the campaign..?
What was that we clamour for?
Change or chains?

Does this look like the words we heard
Or the promises made?
Was these the songs
Sang on the streets of campaigns?
Was these part of the change?
May I asked,
Was change voted
Or chains invited?
Which did we bargained?

More questions
Than solutions..
Many, a Nigeria
Maybe in more plights
That weigh down their human rights
Let not judge the whole book
On it cover.
Only time unveil the change fold
