Dear Editor,
Did you see the news today? Sorry, no, electricity blackout prevailed.
Did you call your husband? Sorry “No telephone – cables got stolen”
How was the water?
Sorry can’t say, GWI’s generator burnt out.
What of your kitchen garden. Sorry “they graded the road, filled the drains with the stuff, flooded the yard now everything is floating.”
Have yourself a nice lunch. Sorry I cannot afford it; VAT will burden me. Well I suggest you go somewhere relax and ease the stress. Sorry “Can’t do, I am not welcome at Buddy’s Casino and the garbage will kill me”. Then, what are you going to do?
Sorry “Nothing to do but to slup some coke, become a politician, a pastor or a bandit, rob a bank, do money laundering, steal some AK47s, kill some people, cuss the media, insult the people gamble the country away. Do better still, become the President.
Oh! What a long list. Sorry “Don’t think so, don’t care, and have no apology to make not even to say “sorry”.
Yours faithfully,
V. Warner
