A Packet of Lies

A PACKET OF LIES I will build houses on the oceans And you shall have no cause to Cry again like those without shelter; I will build an Estate and make it Free of charge for all masses. I shall declare my assets naked When you vote for me this time. All students shall go on scholarship, I will build schools and hostel for them, All the beggars shall dine on my table; No more beggars strike, all are free to beg no more. When the rain fall, it shall drench none, The sun shall not harm our children. One plate of food twice a day for all public school Children in the country, is that not a change? All the children shall be well taken care of Because they are the leaders of tomorrow. I will take care of the widows in the land, I shall be their husband day and night, None shall be barren in this land of hope; For there shall be plenty to eat and leave. The widows shall be elevated in my courtyard, None shall cry over their lost husbands. Henceforth, I shall do my own share In the building of this great nation, I shall attend to matter of the state, Great delicate diplomatic issues shall I solve. The roads shall smile and rejoice when I assume office. I shall share the national cake equally, I will repair the refineries and fight corruption in the state, I shall play my own role in the nation building. Insurgency shall be no more, Killing and terrorism shall end, BH shall I conquer within three months in office, Vote for me! vote for change!! Vote for me!!! I know the way to the BH's heart which we know. I shall stand for everyone in the country, For I shall go against my own grain to satisfy your Mutual quest of corrupt free country. Freedom shall be for the Bus-drivers, The market women shall testify and rejoice, I will make our currency higher than the pounds. I am for everybody and not for anyone, Vote for change not transformation, Vote for united nation not for disunity. Vote for freedom of the press, Vote for social amenities, I wll serve those that vote for me and those That didn't vote for me because everyone has his choice to make. I will turn the country round to favour all, The hunt and the hunted, and the hunter. Abundance of bread shall we all live in, I promise not to fail you when you vote for me. (C) JCV
