ELECTION
Poem by Chan Mongol
March 19 of 2021
As of today, I don't know what an election can teach?
Since ages, elected by unfortunates who never become rich!
Election doesn't defeat unjustified corruption, torture;
Do or die and to cleanse unfairness you need a civil war.
It's hard to live all by yourself alone;
And more hard is for a disable person.
Life is a challenge as long as you can fight;
It slows down in the old age to make you quiet.
Some pet a dog, some pet a plant, some pet a cat;
In loneliness of life, at least, a pet is precious to look at.
You don't have to agree to show me any sympathy;
You do such and so is the reality in the system of inequality!
You don't agree all with a story of a writer;
Still, you read and enjoy the epic as a reader.
Elected politicians and governments been failing you;
Remove the mask of democracy to bring something new.
The gist is, like it or not but you are to continue to read;
Show some reactions and help the needy a little bit.
Practicing elections after elections but in what justifications?
Sufferings of impoverished continue by elected administrations!
