Lorette ' BULLET OVER BALLOT '

Festooning arms on beaches of calmness
while they put Nero of Caligula.
The cat of democracy's smiles
and sharply hugs sore points,
why the fuss for democracy?
No hurray for old streets, caved equality yet!
Vote wisely, logically for who?
When the superior force of interested majorities
decide implementation,
contestants have lost their differences,
burnt their essence.
You need promises?Go cast your vote,
I will turn my nose as
Job's stool
till military mutes this battling bullet.

Ajakaye Rashidat Olamidayo.

This poet personae of this piece writes against the hypocritic democratic system of Government and wishes for the Military rule to rescue her land.
