Oromantic’s Weblog

On of our own, the talented lawyer and the straight shooter Shakespeare Fayissa, delivered a passionate speech in Seattle grilling Jendayi E. Frazer, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of African Affairs on her lopsided judgment and her support of the “Butcher of the Horn” the tyrant Meles Nazi’awi. He could have asked her more questions of current affairs like the Woyanes crime on Oromo refugees in Bossasso, the Massacre in western Oromia perpetrated by the terror mastermind Meles and recent bombings in Oromia because as he admited he doesn’t get this kind of opportunity all the time but she was trying to evade his questions by moving on to other issues that don’t involve Ethiopia. I would like to applaude Mr. Fayissa’s courage and steadfastness. Dear brother Shakspeare, keep fighting the good fight. Our Oromo spear never fails us. Shake what you father gave ya!

I would like to leave you with one of the wonderful sonnets of Shakespeare.

  O, how thy worth with manners may I sing

  When thou art all the better part of me?

  What can mine own praises to mine own self bring,

  And what is’t but mine own when I praise thee?

  Even for this let us divided live

  And our dear love lose name of single one,

  That by this separation I may give

  That due to thee which thou deserv’st alone.

  O absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove

  Were it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave

  To entertain the time with thoughts of love,

  Which time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive,

  And that thou teachest how to make one twain

  By praising him here who doth hence remain!
