Sonnet: Elections’ Aftermath! Poem by Dr John Celes

The elections are over in some states;
The better parties have come back to pow’r;
Some corrupt ministers had sealed their fates;
The summer heat is lessened by cool show’r.

The sufferings of farmers ceased a bit;
Most lakes are full of water brought by rain;
Relief sighs come from teachers who’re hard-hit;
Government servants seem happy again.

Most people hope to live a peaceful life;
Their days of debts and eating rats are gone;
The leader now will help them out of strife;
The Rising Sun has brought a newer dawn!

Let’s thank the Lord who changed the state of things!
Let pride / revenge not fill the hearts of kings!
