Governance

Whatever happened to those days of old?
When leaders fought with hearts of gold?
For freedom, rights and fair treatment of all
For peace and progress that would never fall
When making a difference was everyone’s plan
Not only cos it was right, but because they can
We’ve been engulfed by so much corruption
Pointless overspending and so much disruption
So many people just can’t afford the debt
No matter how much we pay, it’ll never be met
At election time, there are so many false promises
That end up just words that everyone misses
It’s sad that we don’t see truth anymore,
They play on our emotions and it’s all a show
It’s the saddest truth of the world today,
They commit the crimes and the price is ours to pay
We have forgotten the power we have in our hands
And our right to fight back and actually make a stand
Our vote puts these selfish clowns into power
Then we all complain when things end up sour
Remember, our votes and voices can remove them too
There’s actually so much one vote can actually do
Sadly though, people just don’t see this as a choice
I mean, what good exists in a world without a voice?
Sadly, politics has become a really bad joke
All they do is blow circles in their own smoke
As a people, we need to think before we act
And vote for hard truths, fortitude and fact
To the politicians, its time you actually kept your word

And to the people, its time your voices are heard
