Election, the selection and never a manipulation,
With no bribe to vibe up the future by tribe
Tomorrow secured by now, wise up and rise up
With your votes, your future procured
Yesterday, mistakes in the past
Cast in the days of old sins
Made to last no more by the future
Like a mast, a signal found with new opportunities
A sight with a collective might
We pride our unity in diversity against a
poverty-stricken future
Plague' with vagueness
A sold conscience, the election slavery tool
Election, free and fair we pray
A do but never a die affair, they say
Strain violence with peace to play
Neither bloodshed nor death, the way
The future wade yesterday, buried in the loss of
the past
Pleasure’ birthed with gain
Loss’ made pain
Not in vain but treasure to the wise
Like the rays of the sunlight
With peace, its beauty radiates light
The future stays bright
Peaceful election is no choice but a voice to stay
right
