Democracy In My Country Poem by micheal udenyi

Democracy is not
one man do your wish
democracy is not autocratic
it is the government of the people
elections in my country
is now selection
it is covered with stories
of electoral violence
spilling of blood
snatching of ballot papers
intimidation of electoral officers
election in mycountry is not democratic
as i student i know what i'm saying
if you think you are bold enough to speak your mind
hired assassins would pay you a visit
one thing is certain they can't do it all
they will never decieve all the people
all the time
just some of the people
some of the time
if only the masses knew thier onion
as it is in the constitution
they would realise that all we need is unity
when a man decides to kill and bury himself alone
of a certainty that is bravery
but one hand i asure
must appear above ground level
unity among the preys
makes the predators die of hunger
the importance of the leg
is known when trying to stand on the head
democracy is unity
united we stand
divided we fall
