Ding dong the dictator is
gone, his followers now can speak
They finally found their
voices they are no longer servile, or meek
Where were these hypocrites,
when “Mr. Accountability” ruled?
They were silent and
grovelling and by their master schooled
Now they have found courage;
their “leader” is now gone
They talk “renewal” and “respect,”
after all that was done
They will choose a “new
captain” to command their depleted ship
Will the gullible masses believe
their “new” baloney script?
Power and control is the aim,
of this “democracy” game
It is said that those who
play it, really have no shame
They promise the “true believers”
a new and greater vision
Many even believe they will
bring a political heaven
The masses think they will
live contented, and happy ever after
If they try once more, and
elect, another political disaster
The party names might change,
but the owners are the same
And an X allows you to play
in the farcical “democracy” game
And so the never ending
political farce continues, unabated
The names and faces
continually change, and some get reinstated
The voters dutifully turn out
to vote, they love their political pain
It’s called political
masochism, and getting punished once again
Still, that is how the game
is played, and “promises and plans” are sold
Just accept this is; “democracy”
that’s what the participants are told
In four years time they get
to play again and vote for another try-on
And if they win, they can
say: “Ding dong another dictator is gone”
