Disenfranchised Citizens by Moukee(m): 5:57pm On Apr 27, 2006 |
They came out in droves From their enervating abode Men and women without vote Walking wearily to the polls To welcome yet another chief Who may turn out to be a thief Or at worst a caged beast Roaring from Aso rocky peak. They said he visited your colony Cap in hand begging for sympathy From human waste washed ashore By waves of official misdemeanour. But he could not stomach the stench Emanating from your unwashed habiliments He clutched his big white handkerchief To his nose which twitched with mischief. Thumbs-up for the nation's dislocated Pretty soon you will be rehabilitated As promised by the consensus candidate For the position of head of state. Your banner of proletarian almsbag Flown at high mast on the nation's highway Where begging is the order of the day Is your thumb,your vote and your franchise. |
