FROM THE REPUBLIC OF CONSCIENCE

To our leaders whose
Verge from here to there
City to cities chant their manifesto
Promises yet to be brought to the limelight
In verging for a position to rule their people

Public leaders must swear
To uphold unwritten law and weep
To atone for their presumption to hold office
In utmost sincerity and honesty
From the republic of conscience

Whose still much alive and kicking
Whose heart is still much soft
Soft to the plight of the people
In which the same leaders are leading
From the republic of conscience

In whose republic
Our dear nation was birthed and born
Who’s upon the fabrics of our mother
Who’s our fatherland is built on
From the republic of conscience

What kind of leader are you
As you go around verging for political office
Are you really who you are portraying yourself to be
Will you still maintain this humility and selflessness
Upon the resumption of office if you win the election

Will your conscience still be much alive
Or half alive when the election result is announced
Where you place those who voted for you
In sun, rain and cold chilled weather
From the republic conscience
