giving aids for votes



The political campaigns
Years ago a friend told me his story
He would carry his bag of money
For distribution in the villages

He carried lots of money
In his briefcase looking like a businessman
He behaved like a man to invest
For paying upfront money

The campaigns would run
On the hungry wealth dreaming agents
They brought with them bags of money
Giving aids and free lunches...

Agents like him worked behind
They were the ones who came with aids
The poor folks would receive angpows
The party badges were shown around

It's still happening
The pictures told many tales
Giving aids for votes
The villagers should wake up quickly
