Partisan
impotence is over, it is the beginning of the political orgasm.
Now we see
the LOVE they share, please note my sarcasm.
Another
one is around the corner, an election, it’s all in the news.
Did we
ask for it, do we need it, is it essential, no one sort our views.
They
call for it, fight for it, sometimes kill for it too. Why?
To serve
us of course; oh my my.
The campaigning
is in full flow, so is the muddy blame game.
Time,
money and effort all focus on how to defame.
One blows
off the other’s candle hoping theirs would shine brighter.
The
other does the same in return, then it’s a competition, who is stupider?
Reputation
tarnished, integrity probed, patriotism questioned: only during the election.
A few
months later they happily cross over; relax, there’s hardly any tension.
From the
bottom of the lungs, spit being sprayed, the leaders scream.
The
clueless brethren applaud, even the ridiculous statements, which ideally should
be a meme.
Promises
are made of course in millions, atop the plywood stage
They
vary from gold chains, mobile phones, subsidies to your monthly wage.
The only
ones bound by manifestos are the voters themselves.
Who is
to be blamed? Us, who else?
To
please the masses the preferred savoury is served.
But
ironically it’s the politicians tummy that gets curved.
Gracefully
dressed, often in suits, these days in sarongs.
Join
their hands, smile before you and say “Ayubowan”.
Don’t be
fooled, don’t be misled, it's their way of saying,
Aroota nemei, mata chandey deepang!
(අරූට නෙමෙයි මට ඡන්දය දීපන්)
Weathering
all storms, they fight for a throne, a position they hope to abolish.
History
keeps repeating, once appointed, the position; it only gets polished.
A single
man is a minority, that’s at least what I was taught.
Not
always the case, an executive president... he is a majority, he's got men in
his vault.
It is a society
governed passively by free markets and supposed free elections,
But organised
greed defeats disorganised democracies taking it in different directions.
Elections
determine who is in power not how power is used.
Like
most things in our country, that, we do not know how to defuse.
Do we
pick the known over the unknown, what actually drives the voter?
Is it
the liking towards one or the hatred against the other?
