WHAT IS TO BE DONE NO. 27
NO BLENDING NO MERGING
 
 
“Monsters merge and water through water’s mounting”
Adam Mickiewicz
 
“Mature people relate to each other without the need to merge”
Anais Nin

 
What is to be done?
Over the last more than 55 years in Ethiopia, my country, those who open their mouths knowingly or in innocence are the poster holding group or the middle class. The lower majority is driven by the upper and middle class agenda without knowing or understanding the effect of the suffering the majority are facing.
The first coup to overthrow the menace has ended in disaster, the two brothers Germame and Mengistu Neway; one a civil servant, the other military General. The middle class divided into two, those who supported the coup and those where against it.
In the early 1970s the military movement, which started to improve the condition of the military, ended with the military taking over the middle and lower class in other parts of society. The military, led by Mengistu brought 17 years of war, conflict and massacre. Mengistu ran away to Zimbabwe, taking the resources and his family through a pre-arranged path with  CIA as negotiator. The same CIA paved the way for the ethnically organised rebel group. Tigrean People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) took power in the capital, changing its name to “Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front” (EPRDF) which since 1991 has controlled the country for the last 27 years.
In 2017, Abiy Ahmed  who had grown up in the trenches of the TPLF, with the backing of American CIA agents, became a military Colonel, got his Doctorate on State Security, went to the US for training. For two years he got a cosmetic facelift which is showing a fadeon his face.
Whatever he says and does is part of the ‘plan’ to cheat the majority lower class, the poor.
The middle class and part of the ruling class are his supporters, whether in diaspora or in the country.
All monsters merge with Abiy; the ‘protestant’ invites everyone to merge in the Amharic MEDEMER or to be added literally.
Now it’s fading, not like the beginning.
One thing is not clear for everyone. We Africans, Ethiopians, sell our people without any struggle. First and foremost, no matter who he is, he has not come to power by properly formed democratic processes in ballot paper with people’s provisional government, national reconciliation.
He can be a saint, a pope, or a sheikh, but he is not qualified unless he is elected by democratic vote to officially become a candidate or an elect.
He “invited” Birtukan Mideksa, part of the CIA training in Harvard University, who is waiting for her post to become Chairperson of the National Electoral Board. Whose electoral board? Not the people’s electoral board for sure.
Who are they, the guy called Tamagn Beyene, for example-- the puppet of anyone who pays him, who makes him in charge of “fundraising’ will play for them as they like him.
The West in general and America in particular, what they love in countries like Ethiopia is not democratically elected leaders. What they need is leaders like Abiy Ahmed and his stooges who follow the instruction of America, the Western countries and Middle Eastern powerful countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, who praise Abiy Ahmed whenever they want him, invite him with Ess-aye Afewerk for a heavy gold chain.
Ethiopia has become one of the countries which have more than 15 million people internally displaced,36 million starved children according to UNICEF despite the fake eulogy and non- existent development under Abiy Ahmed, who is not really in control of  the country. He is a military security colonel who got his doctorate from the USA studying security in America for more than 2 years.
The Western media became Abiy Gaga…
 
When ever Abiy Ahmed is asked to allow the formation of ‘’ Provisional Peoples Goverment’’, his reply is "no need I will transit you".
This is undermining the people of Ethiopia.
Who is he to undermine the people of Ethiopia?
 
NOBODY!!!

‘’Love is not here to make us
happy. I believe it exist to us how
much we can endure.’’
Hermann Hesse

Felling me
Cry with Sadness
When I read
What others
Say about

Only in the
In the world of

World of madness:
What kind
Of curse
Is it?
Gives me
Elusive pleasure
Loves embers
Loves Sweet
Agony
Why? Why? Why?

Be able to
Be near you

RA was the sun god. He was the most important god of the ancient Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians believed that Ra was swallowed every night by the sky goddess Nut, and was reborn every morning. Ra. The ancient Egyptians also believed that he travelled through the underworld at night. (by changing  the gender making it famine to help me go with concept of this poem)

Pyramid

PYRAMID


“The car shot forward straight into the circle of light, and suddenly Arthur had a fairly clear idea of what infinity looked like.

It wasn’t infinity in fact. Infinity itself looks flat and uninteresting. Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity—distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless. The chamber into which the aircar emerged was anything but infinite, it was just very very very big, so big that it gave the impression of infinity far better than infinity itself.”
― Douglas Adams



PYRAMID
Things might be
Complicated
In every direction
Blocking my brain
To ponder
Conjecture
Think
Scrutinize
Devour
Impossible
The past
Bing accumulated
In my brain
Pyramid
*****
From birth
Till here now
Being Ambushed
Shell castigate
Abuse condemn
Raid rebuke
Admonition
Pyramid
***
Day in
Day out
Being blocked
From thinking
Having thought
About here
And now
Restraint evasion
Betrayal flight
Of reality
Here and now
Pyramid
***
Siting standing
Waking sleeping
The past the
The yesterday
Before that
Eclipses
Overshadows
My today now
Present
Veiling it
Covering my
Sun light
Moon
Stars
Not to see
The existing
Reality truth
Pyramid
***
Making gloomy
My vision
Imagination
When I dig
Deep down
Taken by
Yesteryear
The mischief
Intrigue
Being in surveillance
Concentration camps
‘’Refugee Camps’’
Pyramid
***
Eating drinking
Digesting
Sucking our blood
Researching us
Their black
‘’Rates apes’’
For their
Masters. Doctorate
PHD thesis
Some come and go
As reporters
Journalists
…………
‘’Fact finding’’ mission
Ground work
In white peoples
Laboratory
Refugee Camp
Pyramid
***
I am not
After standing
On your top
Or going Round
Round
Or sleep
Inside you
***
Knowing what is
There
Wanted to demolish
Destroy your
Emblem
Representation
Sign token
Metaphor
Make you
Flat level
Smooth even
Uniform
Until you
No longer
Can exploit
Our being
‘’Pyramid
Pyramid
