Weeping the Elections

There's a wail,for thngs are not well, At my back there's an alarming bark; All I can see are traitors and penned thieves Protected by armed men; Amidst euphora of an extavanganza. At a colourful swearing-in-ceremony. Here is a sad looking man Lamenting with a weepng heart, ''Why are you depressed and alum?'' ''We're mourning this morning,''he said. We're sripped of our birth right, The freedom to vote our leaders Is forfeited by our infamous rulers... To implant all puppets, They can control like electronc robots; Nay!We're hookwinked and robbed By the barbarism of this baba-rism; An affluent is now relegeted to a beggar, Yesterday an owner,today a scapegoat; Again,a mandate is stolen from us. With the use of machineries Far from our reach...the police and the Independent Notorious Executors of Con, So,the conspiracy is done; So,the mandate is stolen; So,the scam unveiled; Amidst frowns and scorn, Amidst world-wide disdain, Amidst scowls and condemn.
