the joke on us

The joke on us
The government we elected
Rules and laws
The ruling elites waltz around

The ordinary voters
They aren’t wanted
Once the votes are cast
We are history
No value but say it is democracy

I voted in Perak
Though I am from Selangor
The way the affairs going on
It masks of kids playing hide and seek
Will the honest politicians come forward?

Perak Constitution
Follow the rules
Yet the greed of power
Conveniently forgets
Perakians get annoyed
We are not consulted

Still the playing behind backdoors
Dangling millions and positions
The 3 ‘friendly independents’ hide
They are afraid dare not show faces
The perception of allegedly of wealth and promises
The coffee shops talking about

The joke on us
The way the leaders fight
No gentleman warfare
Back stabbing ala Brutus
Will democracy survive?
