Did Your Vote Count?

The political season is over now

We sure did hear many promises

They came with polished English

Rehearsed speeches and slogans

They even quoted the Bible or Quran

On top of fuel guzzlers they lied

Some swore,even for Wanjiku they can die

And we cheered them like heroes who've conquered a war

Yet all they had done was squander our taxes.

Funny how we throw reason away during elections

With greed and short sightedness we forsake future generations

Just for our immediate gratification

We hope against hope that things will change
