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
