Your penchant for loading poetry with meaning and tropes is manifest here. More grace, Sir.

This is a wonderfully executed political piece, man! The repetition of the forgotten elements of repression, the willingness of the beaten to adore the one dishing out the abuse worked well. Like a battered wife, excuses and denials abound because the mind is forced to splinter the truth in order to survive. To finish with the irony of voting was a nice touch, as if two handpicked elite candidates are going to make a difference! The illusion of democracy is often enough to make the flag-wavers froth at the mouth with patriotic fervor. I enjoyed this a great deal!

corruption begets more corruption which we tend to forget for some paltry benefit we can see an touch. PRomises are poor currency

Oh, this is easy to read and understand, the whole piece is arranged in good order, the ideas are obviously right...yes, everybody doesn't look back when there's something is causing you upset, the whole piece I like the sentence: 'To keep people in a hypnotic state.' which is a main point to be followed by us. thank you I offer this with 10 full marks.

no matter how hard one will try it's imposible to forget what was done in the past, like a picture it stays on the screen of your eyes forever...and yes like ' Sir Kholekile ' said you can learn from the past.....great work

in order to forget you need to accept first, that is what people should learn because you cannot change the past, it is history now however you can lean from your past.......nice work

Most unfortunate- but a fact of life! As a poet having social responsibility, let us in our own way, make efforts to change the rot!

A great political satire with a hidden wakeup call for the voters and the politicians. You very well understand the social responsibities of a poet. A very good poem with a purpose.
