Election Or Selection Poem by Akinrinola Tosin Emmanuel

POEM: Election or selection
POET: Akinrinola Tosin Emmanuel (Emacot)


Up and down we go, that is how we do every four years
The preacher says he who has ear let him hear
For the rival of that position is between many parties who have ambition to get to the heir
No visible crown but don't take it to be mere
It is near, how do we go about it, through Election or Selection?


It is bloody and Scarry, lives are been wasted,
What a leader we crown with so much blood shed,
With every action Election divides our nation into factions,
Giving our nation a villanelle of truth, yethe replaces fact with distraction,
And Selling manufactured satisfaction

Democracy is there we have our right to make a selection,
With the help of permanent voters card, franchise can be decided on the day of election,
But it a pity after election our leaders change into tragedy and calamity,
leaders look superior and have lack of humanity on the masses,
My opic, yes, A far shot from sanity blinded them with vanity,
Then the masses accept their fate with maturity,
we can't continue living with this mentality
Let make the right selection this time for the time of Election is near.
