We Shall Vote With Our Consciences

" WE SHALL VOTE WITH OUR CONSCIENCES" Let us cast our minds back to '1983' massacre When inking our thumbs were as inking our death-warrants We exercised our franchise in peace But the result was given in pieces We roared against it !! Our roars were silenced by gun Then, Roads were littered with human-bones And frozen bloods in our drainages Homes were razed to flame The hands of Akure sons were drumming -the broken-wall in sorrow And her daugthers were dancing in anguish To the feast of war Today, We shall vote with our Consciences To elect our favourite not an alien -Who came from beyond to rule our within My people! Help me to tell 'PDP' We can no longer stay under their teared- umbrella Where our heads expose to sun's rays Tell 'ACN' brooms can no Longer sweep away our banes Tell 'LP' it's done whats good Our consciences'll say maybe 'LP' to stay or go All I know is that; We shall vote with our consciences.
