Election Fever
Emancipation must be sustained by a plebescite
Legitimizing governance of the people by the people
Each man a citizen, each citizen a natural right
Citizens balloting the franchise of desire, dreams to steeple
Temple and parliament in power - balanced and aimed
Inspired by justice deep root, and equality's branches
Organizing security and economy a state is framed
Nurturing a growth of kings from soldiers common trenches
Fickle tongued, the candidates flicking syllables come
Ego twining itself around the poll of each dream
Vision warming its blood in rodent cornered freedom
Empty platforms with the loss of ideas once supreme
Rising above the narrow, petty partisan hope of mad men seen as sane
