from sources that can’t be impeached have heard

By Honor Blanco Cabie

 

from sources that can’t be impeached have heard

high diplomat* did visit probers’ nook,

i found that awkward socially, if nerd –

he should have gotten right straight and a hook.

 

the probers probing those ghost projects should

be given time to evaluate all things

submitted to placate the people’s mood,

those in deep waters wallowing in stings.

 

and none, whatever badge they hold in hand,

should be allowed and given that much space

to let their feet on what is sacred land

of those truth seekers in a frenzied chase.

 

the probers were polite – but they were wrong:

i hear the off tone tune, an off-key song.

*Michael Keheller, the US Embassy’s acting deputy chief of mission, last Friday went into what some opinion-makers described as ‘a hush-hush meeting with the newly-formed Independent Commission for Infrastructures…You’d think it’s a beacon of hope – Uncle Sam swooping in to save us from ourselves.’
