the old road names


The old road names
We mustn’t change as we like
The politicians must learn history
The old road names gone for good

Putting up new names will not help
Some names shouldn’t be put up
They were the slave traders or murderers
Why must we honour these people?

The public realize these politicians in power
They want to score their brownie points
Instead of finding ways to promote the economy
They want to curry favours and get the needed publicity

In a way the public isn’t amused with it
The politicians should wise up now
They will face the voters in 5 years times
Do something economically good!

Don’t change the old road names
We use it for decades
There are still many new roads erected
Put their names for these roads

Learn history of the past contributions
These bygone persons had contributed much
We shouldn’t want to forget their stories
We must have our links to the past, remember?
