now is the crunching number

The red sky
Before the election
Then the rain came
Something God wanted to say

By the time election was over
The shouts and smiling faces
Every one felt something happening
When the results announced
The jubilations sung by the crowd

When it is over
Don’t forget to do your home work
Now is the crunching number
You shouldn’t fail the people

And the strong wind blew
The humming bird nest fell
It couldn’t believe its eyes
When morning came
The nest is gone

In my garden the stray cat vomited
Maybe the cat couldn’t accept defeat
By the time the election was over
Sleep arrived; the tiring body needed to dream

When the election was over
The shock and unbelievable happened
The Barisan Rakyat had spoken
A new light on the horizon
