Haze of Independence

I see the clouds marching,

I see flocks of birds flying,

I see the high rise buildings,

I see the stars of an open night,

I see sparkles of sun light.

But now to the sky I gaze,

I only see haze,

no clouds only blindness,

no buildings only blurriness,

I see an illusion of mist,

created to deceive into abyss.

I hope for truth and transparency,

honour and dignity,

but all I can see is deception behind rhetorics,

hypocrisy behind sweet talks,

our day is tainted,

painted by racism,

proud to show their chauvinism,

promises made backed by “authoritative” haze.

Each day of our lives,

we are shrouded by haze,

haze of lies & deception,

haze of corruption & donation.

Either we need rain of transparency,

damage control,

dissolving the contaminating agents in the polluted air,

ousting the corrupted,

the contaminated,

contain them.

Or maybe we should put off the fire entirely,

from releasing smog,

to the sky.

One day,

the haze might be washed by the rain,

but still,

the corrupted remain.
