Voting for a Better World !
I wonder how my fellow men can vote the way they do?
Is it just a protest or have they thought it through?
Do they really want a world where bigotry holds sway?
Is putting blame on others the way they want to play?
Have they no compassion for those who are in need?
Are they solely driven by an all-consuming greed?
And what of those who stay at home and do not cast a vote?
Maybe they deserve it if they find they miss the boat!
Sure they can excuse themselves by saying they can’t find
A candidate to vote for of the perfect kind!
I’ve news for them! They never will, for there’s no such
thing!
Perhaps they want a puppet hanging from a string?
Get up off your backside and pick the best you can
Or you may get landed with a great big bogeyman!
And you will deserve it for your apathy and sloth
If you get dictators, or charlatans, or both!
We all want a better world for future generations,
So we must encourage our friends and our relations
To take a greater interest in the affairs of state
And make a bit of difference before it is too late!
