It almost looks architectural, like a modern building built in a post-colonial era to celebrate the country's freedom. We will clear the jungle and build a new capitol, and it will look to the new technocratic future, said the president. It will have the swoop and forms of the era to come! Applause. By the sweat of our brows will the buildings rise where once the trees held sway! Applause, checking of watches. It shall be accompanied by horseradish, and skinned potatoes. Of course this will require paprika, but these are challenges I am certain we can meet! Muted applause, looks to the generals on the dais, who roll their eyes and point to their watches: coup's coming, just give us time. |
