This is the cry of a people so sick and tired,
The expression of thirst for change so long awaited,
A shout of hope so strong and fired,
Of the dawn of a new life so long admired.
In our education system facilities are overstretched,
While our beloved teachers are underpaid and understaffed,
Leaving our students so desperate and hopeless,
Since their future is all bleak and jobless.
In our hospitals patient queues seem endless,
While the few doctors are frustrated and helpless,
Due to lack of even basic drugs and equipment,
And the unending trail of broken promises from the government.
Our police force is so incompetent and corrupted,
Leaving our streets so insecure, dangerous and lawless,
Making our citizens so stressed and frustrated,
By a government that is just quiet, weak and compromised.
We are tired of the endless assurances and broken promises,
By a political leadership full of greed and selfishness,
Preaching heaven but protecting vested interests,
Waxing lyrical with the goal of self advancement.
We need true leaders to get us out of this miasma,
Persons of character and integrity in addition to charisma,
To midwife the birth of change for a better tomorrow,
And herald the dawn of life so sweet and mellow.
