We Waited For Democracy To Come Poem by Tony Adah

We Waited For Democracy To Come



We waited for the day
They told us it will come
We waited expectantly and heard its siren
And held our confetti to pour
On the arriving train
It did not come.

The chameleons have nodded
In the affirmative but have said no
With the mouth.
We waited and exhausted our patience
And took to the streets and shouted
For democracy to come
And it came to our brothers
Who we are watching to see
If the thought of chameleons
Can become a dream.
