The season is here, of political nuisance
Again they've come without substance
And we, foolishly, give them an audience
Clearly, we didn't learn from the last instance
They gave empty promises, we listened
Promises on previous promises we listened
The same monkeys have resurrected
With same old lies, now well perfected
They have no shred of decency
How to get votes is their emergency
As they shrewdly court sycophancy
Even if it means tearing up democracy
It's astonishing how we always give them an audience
And allow them to insult our intelligence
Don't we have a little credence?
Are we slowly succumbing to cognitive dissonance?
We have become politically pathetic
Devoid of any substantive critic
All we do is social media gimmick
We have another perfect opportunity
To put to test our and their integrity
We must check and recheck their credibility
We cannot afford another regime built on dishonesty
The time is now, for all of us to rise
Declare and make a personal promise
To end the perennial politics of demise
And embrace a new dawn of progress
To the youth, our tomorrow is now!
Each must make a solemn vow
That, to the old goons we won't bow
Because we need political power now
We must take charge of our present
Press for a seat in the government
And have a meaningful engagement
