Vote For Me
VOTE FOR ME
Being a critic
Doesn’t mean I am no patriot
I am not the citizen of the system
And I am very persistent
Like an annoying parrot
In a country like this
A plane with no pilot
Balancing on an uneven pivot
With a load of leaders playing harlot
Yes, I am a critic
Because corruption is now the system
The people are screaming
In secret they are speaking
Oppressing is not silencing
Citizens hear what I am saying
All I see is killing
And not leading
Excuse my words
For there is no ceasing
To the last truth I will be squeezing
Vote for me! did they say
With lots of gifts and charade
But now they have left us in disarray
They now chase us away
I take a deep breath and exhale
For my chest burns hot
For justice I crave
So strongly to resist a grave
