By his proper name, and was never shy
Of the proclamation of Mandela’s Mandate”

Remember Rwanda: Parables From Our Recent Polls

"And so, another ballot bedlam
And its barbarous aftermath
Cyber mobs wild with imprecations and virtual assassinations
Their reptilian malevolence, their deadly untruths"~
