What head comes without history
What government without a say
We say you are good
We say you are bad
A head that holds scepter of a state or nation
We expect of you to meet our wants in provision:
We give up our right to legitimate your existence:
We dwell beneath sovereignty of state existence
A good government is a messenger that serves citizens
In its mind dwells convenient of citizens
It provides social amenities like electricity, etc.
It protects life, right, property, etc.
To the people -
You take government the saviour of your state
In your mind once the post holds, all problems shall be dealt
knowing man is man, having a rang, a limit
God himself gives not all our wants
Note: not that He cannot give all our wants, but intentionally, He won't.
