UNTIL WE REVOLT

Until we revolt with votes,
Nothing will seem achievable
The leaders will be having a field day
Perpetuation poverty for the people
Silencing their agitation with more impoverishment

Until we revolt with our votes,
Politicians will fleece us dry
Infrastructure will remain elusive
And their overt discord will be harnessed in pecuniary largesse

Until we revolt with our votes,
Riding roughshod on us will never end
Inhumanity will be our collective patrimony
Disregard for us as humans will continue

Until we revolt with our votes,
They will not be unseated
The air of invincibility will suffuse
The delusion of a demigod will not be reined in
And we will be at their becks and calls.

Until we revolt with votes or spears
None will be done and our lives will remain in perpetual misery

No more words without action
We need to revolt with our votes
Yet revolt is no insubordination
No VIOLENCE, just VOTE

I dont really think revolting will help. But thats okay

Easier said than done though
What we vote for?
We voted for change but no
We opened a door
To worse than we had

We voted for transformation before
But only tranformed leaders to rich men
So what do we vote for
When there's a dearth of good men
