Ten seconds of power
That lets you press the button
Forgives the perpetual sinner
Empowers the murderous winner
To rule over your metaphorical mother
The festival of democracy
You celebrate with reverence and pride
Showing your inked finger with a broad smile
Imprinted on digital data machines
Is a license for criminals, rapists and murderers
To loot your metaphorical mother
It’s a certificate of legitimacy that gives them the authority
To sell our rivers, our forests and our precious lands
To the highest corporate bidder, to mine her minerals
And sell her treasures with the stroke of a pen
It’s nothing but a scam; your mandate to sell your metaphorical mother
