My country is on fire

There is an outbreak of violence because of by-elections

Such a sad state of affairs in a free country

People losing peace, their minds, properties, rights and lives to elections is ugly

it should never be like this in a democracy

we must call out the hypocrisy

if indeed we are a free country and a thriving democracy

don’t be misused for a few pennies from big bellies

don’t be misused to kill our democracy

because when you kill our democracy, you kill your own freedom

Violence is an anti-thesis of free and fair elections

Violence cannot co-exist in the same sentence with free and fair elections

And a further truth is, true leadership cannot sprout from chaos

So, we say no, we say no, we say no, we say no to electoral violence.
