À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

With a newly elected team

At the very head of the state,

With heaps of promises that seem

To strain its back and seal its fate,

With mounting loads of public debt

Inherited from the near past

That to blow up presents a threat

With main indicators in red

It’s a real tightrope to tread.

And over the long term to last,

It’s a tightrope that lies ahead

Between joy, the people to please

And fear in a debt trap to head,

Burden of the nation to ease

And on mountains of stress to glide,

Between zeal to the sky to rise

On the wings of popular tide

And expecting longer term gains.

And fear to met future demise,

Between dishing out short term pains.

It’s a tightrope on which to walk

With need to tighten the belt now,

Suitable policies to stalk,

To high moral values to vow,

For one and all to roll their sleeves,

Dip their hands in crest of the soil,

A deep sigh of relief to heave

And uplift level of one’s toil

With aim to raise the nation’s cake

And like stars to brighten its fate.

It’s a tightrope on which to stroll

With vigilance and fine balance

At the end to achieve set goals

With the golden rule of prudence

Under an accomplished steward

Bonded with a competent team

Blazing the horizon onward

To realize the sacred dream

To usher in prosperity

In midst of peace and unity.
