Description
Morning light on the town hall, nine chairs round a hallowed table,
A poster of Kasongo hangs where the mayor's face once was capable.
He cut a ribbon and a photograph, smiled for the crowd and left the stage,
But the clinic's foundation sits like a wound, bricks stack, frozen in rage.
The clock tower stopped the day he missed the meeting, no one could reschedule.
Playground swings rusted in the yard while his promises stay unread, unread and mutual.
Kasongo — you left the town to rust.
It was a midnight phone call, mistrucks idled by the empty key,
Grant papers in a drawer, signatures gone cold where they used to be.
The festival lights dimmed on main, vendors packed and took their keys,
A mural half-painted of our children, now a canvas for the breeze,
Spoke of jobs and open doors, of pipelines and a broader trust,
But the factory gates closed one by one, shutters down and I am turned to grass.
Kasongo — you left the town to rust.
Kasongo — you left your hands to build without your trust.
At the school, the principal keeps a ledger of repairs, he said he'd fund,
But the heaters die in winter class, the coal piled when those teachers run.
Elders line the clinic at dawn, they count the hours, not the pain,
A single bulb in an empty room, a promise written in the rain.
We waited in the town hall door where all he polished speeches in the sun.
We learned how.
Kasongo — you left the town to rust.
