 </div><p></p>It doesn’t take an impressive feat of detection<br>
To guess that we’re heading to an imminent election;
<p>Before very soon we’ll be motoring on the road<br>
To a total explosion of politics overload.</p>
<p>As we swing to the Right and we swing to the Left<br>
We can’t make our minds up who we think is the best:</p>
<blockquote><p>For Obasanjo will drown us in mounds of statistics<br>
And Buhari will hammer on about why he’s a whiz kid</p></blockquote>
<p>And Jonathan’ll hedge his bets and go straight down the middle<br>
But we’ll still wonder which of them is still on the fiddle</p>
<blockquote><p>They’ll peddle fiscal measures as the debt mountain doubles<br>
But who will have the skill to unscramble the muddle?</p></blockquote>
<p>Is Cable able to work it out? Will Darling be too dear?<br>
Is Buhari’s obfuscation now appearing much more clear?</p>
<p>Is it seen that the Greens are too extreme to be believed?<br>
Is PDP mixing messages too complex to be perceived?</p>
<p>Although there might be something on which all of us agree<br>
There’s far too many dangerous strangers voting APC.</p>
<blockquote><p>But unless we get some backing to banish voter apathy<br>
We might end up by vanishing beneath some stupid strategy</p></blockquote>
<p>Where the party that’s the smartest is starting second best<br>
And the donkeys who are chronic are the ones that pass the test.</p>
<p>For the electorate’s disgruntled in this country; it’s a fact<br>
And to earn back public confidence will need a sack of tact</p>
<p>So that the vexed electors all return to ballot boxes<br>
Or we might adopt the options that are dodgy or are toxic</p>
<blockquote><p>For the Politicians have diseased these elections<br>
With the trend for expenses that they thought would not be questioned</p></blockquote>
<p>So we’re all disillusioned and our views are polluted<br>
So we need to pursue new solutions to be mooted</p>
<p>To extract higher standards from people who serve<br>
Or this demoralised democracy’ll get what it deserves</p>
<blockquote><p>I’ve no raging ambition; I’m just stating my position<br>
That what this country’s lusting for is honest politicians</p></blockquote>
<p>But where we might just find them, I haven’t got a clue<br>
Be they yellow, red or green or pink or white or blue</p>
<p>If we all start thinking that no one shade will do me<br>
We might just be left with Monster Raving Loonies</p>
<blockquote><p>But I don’t really think that anything will change<br>
When the next lot’s elected; they’ll still be just as strange</p></blockquote>
<p>For our elected representatives won’t really represent<br>
The views of the electorate to any great extent.</p>
