Election Reality
As glee turns to gloom
In the stroke of a pen
Ballot papers
Crash in the box
Supporters all cheer
While clenching their fists
And sweat gathers
In socks
They await the count
As the tellers tot up and tension grows in the room
Aspirations and hopes
Hang on anxious threads yearning to lift the gloom
Who can tell the outcome?
The people have spoke
The arrogant fall
The certainty is broke
Now’s not the time
For the bold to choke!!
