This epic date is about right
Fighting against bedeviled might.
It is the fight of the life’s light,
Against dark shadows of the night.
It’s the fight of the good Rama,
Against the evil Ravana.
Reject evil as our karma,
And defend the worthwhile dharma.
This day we oppose racism,
And all acts of extremism,
That divide fraternalism.
Poll for real nationalism.
Come this General Election,
Eliminate the corruptions,
And all their soulless corrosion,
That breed foul discrimination.
Citizens, let’s vote for justice,
In the governmental lattice,
For good and positive practice,
Free of any racial malice.
Let’s change, and vote for decency,
With folks’ rights in ascendancy.
Let’s vote for true democracy,
With people’s voice in primacy,
To ensure our children’s future,
We need unbiased social structure,
And education with good feature;
Different from today’s caricature.
Vote for men of perspicuity,
And people of morality.
This day we choose equality,
Or foul racist depravity.
