Voting Blues Again
Voting Blues Before May9 2018
Comes 9May, we the voters might have our final say....
Come what may, we hope to decide the politicians who can stay...
But certain factors are distinctly making our choices go astray...
A revision of electorate delineation that reeks of racial play...
Giving meaning to the big fancy word gerrymandering, as they say....
Mysterious shuffling about of voters, the reports are coming in...
There is even a report of a man long dead, his name is still in the voting list...
Awaiting in courts are complaints of duplicated house addresses...
Giving rise to cases of tens of voters in a single house address...
It is on record, up to as many as 60 voters are housed in a single address...
Of course, the evil of money as in money politics is all too obvious...
Political frogs and political big shots wannabes....
Will switch camps shamelessly, so long as big money comes in...
As warned by 92yr old Dr M, even winning political frogs...
Might jump and tilt the balance of power, money talks...
But hope for justice is what all enlightened voters dare to dream...
Comes 9May, can there be a realisation of new better dream...?
