Your Vote And Your Destiny Poem by Frank Adie

Your ballot is your bullet
In every election,
You are entitle to just a single pellet
Make good use of this ammunition,
Make sure you hit the right target.

Your ballot is your power
Your power is your vote
Your vote is your right
And your right is not for sale.

If you abuse your right
You will lose your might
If your lose your might,
You will lose the fight
If you lose the fight
You will worsen your plight

If you vote base on ethnicity,
You undermine democracy
By undermining democracy
You encourage anarchy.

Your vote determines your destiny
And your destiny is in your hands
The decision to either make or mar it
Is up to you.

In the forthcoming election,
Three things will happen:
Fools will vote as usual
Ignoramuses will vote as usual
‘Retribalized fanatics' will vote as usual
Be different. Be patriotic.
Vote for competence, vote for truth.
