Poem

"Our nation needs to prosper,
"Our people deserve to thrive,
"But the old ways do not foster,
"The betterment for which we strive!"

These words erupt at every campaign
And that part, at least, is true
But truth erodes with each subsequent claim
On which candidate would be the best for you

The faces emblazoned on every walls
Captioned by grand promises they've made
They set themselves on high pedestals
They stand with virtue banner waved

They promise liberty and peace
To build a better future for us all
They preach of security and justice
With them at lead, we'll never fall

"So, come, raise your voices," they implore
"Your trust in me would make us great
"And our opponents; oh, how we abhor
"They hinder Progress, deserving our hate,"

Then comes the day to cast our votes
That would pave way to a new era
Then the elect must honour their words
To realise their promised utopia

And we would wait with bated breaths
For the victor's name to be declared
The verdict, to some, befell like death
While others rejoiced with much fanfare

But 'tis no time for celebration
For the journey's just begun
Will the five-year duration
Be enough to get things done?

Perhaps we've all underestimated
How quickly time goes pass
And then the process gets restarted
With much still at an impasse

Yet we are hopeful, and so we wait still
For a leader, pure and clear of blame
Who would one day rise up and fulfill
The words they have always proclaimed:

"Our nation needs to prosper,
"Our people deserve to thrive,
"But the old ways do not foster,
"The betterment for which we strive!"
