Election Time

Election time looms large, hope for the masses

Masses implode with fear for their country

Country teems with hysteria as polling begins

Begins as people drive to work

Work bubbles over with talk of change

Change to unite constituencies against racism

Racism not anti-immigration

Anti-immigration not fascism

Fascism not the privileged

Privileged face the masses and vote

Vote to tilt the balance, time goes round

Round to six as people arrive home

Home tired from working long hours

Hours spent trying to be productive

Productive masses' moods swing left

Left for the Lib Dems, left for Green

Green to protect their children's planet

Planet creaking under weight of Tory intent

Intent to improve the economy, Tories stake claims

Claims to run things better than before

Before the support was never there

There comes the result at last

Last place to Green, first to the Tories

Tories first-past-the-post while everyone

Everyone else wishes voting was Proportional

Proportional meaning fair, a fairer count

Count counts out Lib Dems and UKIP, Greens

Greens, Lib Dems and UKIP go limping back

Back to the drawing board as SNP shine

Shine for a country united in its belief

Belief never a problem for Cameron

Cameron convinced this nation can move forward

Forward through disaster and back to its feet

Feet taking the public to vote the same as always

Always New Labour, always the Conservatives

Conservatives this nation all, minimal imagination

Imagination a priviledge to those who have time

Time to rethink the strategy as the Tories win

Win by a majority, change the voting system

System problem asks questions of them

Them who chose to vote centre-right

Centre-right UKIP, Tory, New Labour or Lib Dem.
