'We Shall Vote With Our Consciences'

Rating: 5.0


Let us cast our minds back to '1983' massacre
When inking our thumbs were as inking our death-warrants
We exercised our franchise in peace
But the result was given in pieces
We roared against it! !
Our roars were silenced by gun
Then,
Roads were littered with human-bones
And frozen bloods in our drainages
Homes were razed to flame
The hands of Akure sons were drumming
-the broken-wall in sorrow
And her daugthers were dancing in anguish
To the feast of war
Today,
We shall vote with our Consciences
To elect our favourite not an alien
-Who came from beyond to rule our within
My people!
Help me to tell 'PDP'
We can no longer stay under their teared-umbrella
Where our heads expose to sun's rays
Tell 'ACN' brooms can no Longer sweep away our banes
Tell 'LP' it's done whats good
Our consciences'll say maybe 'LP' to stay or go
All I know is that;
We shall vote with our consciences.
I dedicate it to ondo-state 2012 election
