Vote Not Fight! Poem by Folorunsho Ahmed adekunle

Vote not fight,
The thumb speaks so loud,
Than your violent voice in election time,
Of your thumb you ought to be proud.



Not the gun in the bag and knife in the pocket,
Election with visiting visa into land of time,
It comes and must go, vote not kill opponents!
Dear populace, election worths not thy life.



They breed you for violence,
And mobilize you like soldiers of pharaoh,
And armed you against yourselves,
But enroll their silent family for big job so loud!



Their children sleeps with two eyes closed,
In massion of peace abroad,
But under leaking hut roof of thundercloud,
Your heart beats so fast than ticktock,


All nights when you watch like a hawk.
Why then should you die?
For who can't faint for you all.
Clean your card not sharpen your knife; vote not fight!
