BUILDING TENSION

BUILDING TENSION The day approaches, and it is not long now Before my decision’s made, a prize to award As judge I have delayed it, as time will allow I have received threats that I have to record Either one I choose they’ve got it in for me I’ll be as safe as paid protection can afford Both candidates have ‘connections’ you see The loser’s gang will have harmful intention Yet the winners won’t care when in ecstasy What can I do about all this building tension Declaring a tie will trigger greater dissention

political tensions are the worst. In this situation, the narrator is between a rock and a hard place. Nicely done.
