An election year And once again it’s the promisesPoliticians telling us the peopleWhat they think we the people want to hearDancing around the issues of we the peopleBuying time hoping to gain that victoryTo hold that reign of power To behave with impunity towards humanityAs we the people slip back to business as usual Today there’s talk about Replacing the always selected president Living under this watch We see the mockery of everything decentA blatant hypocrisy that must be pervasiveWithin a society that should be enraged Demanding higher standards from leadersBut remain subdued, quiet and intimidatedAs the conspiracies against humanity are exposed I have to wonder of a democracy cloaked in secrecy Pursuing the greed of a few Brushing aside the need of the society, Justice Undermining the fundamental principle of democracy Majority rule Using laws to prevent us knowing what is been done Telling us to accept their lies as the truthEven when we know differentlyThe actions there, a testimony to words spoken Halie Selassie I Crowned Kings of kings Speak of leadership as such : ‘he who would be a leader must pay the pricein self-discipline and moral restraint….. leaders have to submit themselves to a stricter self-discipline and develop a more exemplary moral character than is expected of others’ So I ask you what do you see in your leadersWhere are the morals, the integrity, the sense of justice What reflections of you, lies within your leadersThat you accept the perpetuation of the injusticesThe inequalities Remain silent and indifferent towards the inhumanityAccept the destruction of the lives of those considered different This looting and pillaging in your name to benefit a fewPutting patrotism and niches before humanityForgetting that what ever I sanction against you, against them Is what I sanction against me, against humanity.
