Can'T I Vote Peacefully

Of what essence it is To fiercely assert a formalised choice In the name of political honour That produces terror? I fight for my party to win Yet us our country is between The leaders and the led Any need to fight? Because her we have to as one ameliorate. As simple as peaceful to vote Just speak to the ballot box Instead I've always caused things that box My task of getting my boss there At the height of prestige In formulation of gangs of my fellow young dudes To contend by physical exertion. So funny! It's now I realise That the sons of those influencers are always absent In our brawls and thugs And in our forces; For their fathers’ failing fates; Like they have none, Or ain't they our peers? But they all do. I see! Ergo, I'll no more to vote fight In rote we'll vote. Elections are opinions, not dominions.
