Election Thoughts - 2008

And the difference???

Electric election excitement!
Political beehives buzzing
Across the land.
Bags of money
Counted, allocated, distirbuted
Votes traded,
For a bag of rice, a piece of cloth
A pair of shoes, school fees for a year
Small economies, basic economics
Thousands of villages,millions of villagers,
Third world ignorance, developing young democracies!

Votes, most precious of commodities,
Sacred trust, not for sale
Priceless: the Ideal!

Electric election excitement!
Political beehives buzzing
Across the land!
Billions in budgets - promises
Education, health care, tax credits
Stimulus packages, bank bailouts
Jobs lost, jobs created,
Jobs, jobs, jobs!
Democracy matured - The Model!
