Vote Wisely

vote wisely

don't believe what you 
see 
cos behind the close 
doors lies a lot unknown

as the saying goes
all that glitters are not gold
look beyond what you see
cos behind the close doors
they are dirty

look closely 
can't you see that 
they are always close 
to us when they need 
just our vote 
as always every four years

election time is few day 
ahead in Nigeria
is obvious 
our politicians has not change

despite their obvious failures
they are still promising us 
of change 
even when is obvious
to us that they are the 
very one not  giving change 
a chance to be a reality
in our country

so I call on every Nigerians
to vote wisely 
is obvious the only 
weapon and chance for 
change now lies
on our choice of vote 
please let vote wisely

please don't sell your right
remember the old ones 
are not what we need 
they are warn out 
and as always their is always
a secret in their cupboards
despite its obvious 
yet they say they are 
the right ones 

remember all that glitters
are not gold 
so lets us 
vote wisely
