What do you promise to do?
29 May 2012
BY MICHAEL DOM
If we give our votes to you
And you form our government
What do you promise to do?
Pledge to us you will be true
And work for our betterment
If we give our votes to you
After all that we’ve been thru
Our doom seems imminent
What do you promise to do?
To raise us up, to renew
Our ailing parliament
If we give our votes to you
Or will you throw us askew
As others did with a bent
What do you promise to do?
Good leaders are far too few
Our democracy laments
If we give our votes to you
What do you promise to do?
