In this country,
Getting elected is not easy
Except for the popular,
The rich and the dynasty.
In this country,
Candidacy is dangerous, risky
You’ve to buy guns,
Raise a private army.
In this country,
Elections is expensive
Even tainted contributions
You’ve to receive.
In this country,
Counting votes is complicated
Your watchers can be more
Than your votes tallied.
No wonder why people
Have doubts, reservations
Of those proclaimed
Winners in the elections.
But that’s the way leaders
Are chosen in this country,
Being a sovereign republic,
A democracy.
