We are tired of the same old story told by our
ancestors and passed on to us. Some Politicians with
their lies, they just make us sick. Election time has
come and you want our votes again. You promise us of
infrasture, better education, ubandance of jobs,
improve water problems, reduced cost in everythin
and have made many youuths your carders.
When we vote for you you forget about us. You stand
up and boast that you only drink mineral water when
we are dying out of thirst out there. Students are
denied bursaries when they complain you tell them it is
not governments responsibilities to pay for
students.some of Governments infrastructure have
worn out they look like place for acting horror movies.
They are a a threat to life and hazardorous to the
nation. The living standards of the people are going
down day by day because the youths have not been
given employement and our fathers have until now not
been paid their benefits. we do work hard our farmers
really ensure that we keep recording bumper haversts
but the issue is you delaying in giving them their
monies. We are calling for better roads and not paper
roads which become fish ponds during rain season
why give us roads that are like roads for toys. Do not
expect us to always praise you when you do great
things for us because it is your responsibilities but
rather we will never forget to appreciate your great
works. Build us more health facilities during and after
any election.
Our youths should not be used as tools for violence,
youths must be involved in great works. We shall not
vote for you out of mercy or because of your gender,
our eyes have been opened and we will vote for you
because of your better and genuine plans for our
beloved nation.
You promise to improve education
starndads which you failed to do so.
Stop harrasing the media be a real not
cowards.
Stop fooling the church, you can not save yourselves, why beat pastors, Why mock students, leave them in peace, we need a great nation from them. Why trouble the bus drivers, are you going to care for their families when you treat them like trash.
its the same old story, we need a new
one!
