the whirring change

The stage is set
On the field in the stadium
The lights all set up
The balloons of many colors

The placards around the building
The words of nation the wisdom it brings
All around the fence
It says it all

“The Nation for all
The rights belong to the people
It is through them Nation progresses
They are the ones”

All shapes and sizes
The people flock to the stadium
Before the streets light bloom
The stadium roaring with whisper

Outside the stadium
The small traders set up stalls
They know the people needs
So they are welcome

The books of new life
The Nation celebrates
People gather to flip it pages
The light shall give them free

Across the bridge
An island of man made
The losing candidates
Sweeping the beach

They have lost
So is the power they craze
The wealth of the Nation
They dream under the canopy

The sound of motorcade
The sirens and the roaring engines
The opposition stand up to watch
They feel the hungry beats

“You make so many promises
Along the way you flip flop
You change your decision
Like water flowing from a tap”

The losing candidates
They only watch with envy
Time when they were the kings
They could do whatever they want

Now they talk in whisper
Watching the objects on the lake
“We didn't expect the Malaysia Spring
We had them in our thumbs!”

The motorcade moves into the stadium
The roar of approval ring loud and clear
The sirens blast along with the cheers
Then total silence as the new leader stands still

The National Anthem rings with the crowd
They sing along as the school bands marching
The faces of freedom on each of them
Finally they know they are free!

The white pigeons release to the sky
A symbolic gesture to herald the era of peace
For the people of this Nation
It is ruled by the people for the people

Then the crowd erupts into applause
The new leader takes the stage
“We are home people
Now we are free!”
