THE ELECTION POSTERS

He walks across
So many posters
Defaming the walls
Of each city in the state
Where he lives and dwells in
 
But did he see hope
Looking at each candidate's picture
On the posters starring at him
As he walked pass by each one
With a long gaze at its letter on the posters
 
With a hope that seems so far
With so many that have been beclouded
The existence of the state of the nation
Where he occupies so much
Each day events come up.
 
The election posters
From the manifestos
To the chant of the public address system
Can one find hope in the election posters
Littered around our cities and highway.
 
Can the common man
Find peace while at home
For how long do we go on like these
Our home is no longer home
The election posters
 
So shiny and glaring
So radiating beauty of pictures
So much colour that made it colourful
But is there a shiny light of hope
That we transcend and radiate color of tomorrow.
 
The election we come and go
The posters we go through
Wear and tear before you know it
The posters have faded out
While no hope we transpire from the election posters.
