Every Election Year's Agony by pauldesimple(m): 10:11am On Jan 10, 2013 |
EVERY ELECTION YEAR'S AGONY Every election year They promise to lead with God's fear But once they are in office They forget that promise The once friend of the people Sworn into office with the Quran or the Bible Makes the people cry With policies that make them dry Policies coated with national interest But formed by selfish men at the crest Without consultation with the populace People at the receiving end of the policies Yet after four years of disappointment They come back begging for our endorsement And because we are fast at forgetting the past They give us items that won't last And we surrender without measure Our future and pleasure Some even fight their brothers For the candidate who never bothers But enjoy chilled beers And 'isi-ewu' at bars With other aspirants And political opponents Every Friday night When they are out of sight As our wounded receives treatment at the hospital And the dead prepared for burial O God, help my people maintain their stand Whenever they come around
