Analysis of suicide of a state head



if
a leader
of

a record breaking
elal
committed

a suicide or many,

was the leader
a deaf
a blind
a notwalking individual

as any ladder
that can never take
its steps
its rungs
for granted
ever waiting to take
steps
on ones accord?

as university asmara's 39 front steps
that
was betrayed
by any path
devoid of lasting courage?

was the leader
yesteryears
todays
notwaitingnevers
leaders
disapproval?

leaving aside
the autopsy
result,
which mode
of transport
will
regret
its
desparate
decision
to prone the leader
till death (set us apart)?

which? which?
mode of transport
afforded full mercy
to this regretting
leader death
that was
from, you see, from ....?

the leader
was proud
of (s)nap with.
