POLITICS, Its genuine beauty
Melvin D. Banggollay
P-olitics is not a bad thing
As a system of governing
For it is an opportunity
To serve God and country
O-utlines the act of serving
The people trust mandating
for those given the exigency
as stewards of sovereignty.
L-egal manner of electing
Leaders to do the governing
With the spirit of democracy
And respect of peoples dignity.
I-nstituted system of leading
Services that are upholding
The peoples will and authority
Towards our nations posterity.
T-reaty of trust emancipating
The people burden emanating
From the quagmire of poverty
Beseting the peoples prosperity.
I-ndeed, it is an act of anointing
Leaders with Gods blessing
Who are trusted with authority
To serve our people and country.
C-alled as the process of anointing
Leaders who are called for leading
With the peoples will and sovereignty
As the stewards of God and country.
S-ecured with the act of serving
With all integrity not self serving
Hence, it must be made an ardent way
To serve and not to be served by many.
A reflection of of our leaders call to serve

I would like to translate this poem
I have a less gracious view of politics, at least as it is in my country. Nicely written though, Melvin
