Analysis of The Paradox of Political Power :The Conundrum of Elected Leadership

In the land of politics and power,
Where candidates do oft’ cower,
And promises are made with might,
In hopes to win the people's sight.

The race is on, the battle fierce,
To be the one whom all will hear,
And lead the land with noble grace,
With visions of a brighter place.

But ‘tis a curious thing, to see
How leaders come to prostrate thee,
With words of hope and honeyed charm,
And all the while, with hidden harm.

For when the election's over, done,
And votes are cast, and all is won,
The leaders oft’ are lost in thought,
And wander off in wonder sought.

Like ‘ki Khun bynriew ‘ in their ‘Krem Lamet Krem Latang’ land,
Where things are not as they seem planned,
So too, the leaders oft’ forget,
The promises they did beget.

For some contest for the power's sake,
And some for wealth, a flimsy take,
And some for tricks and cunning arts,
To bring the leader down to parts.

And some, with selfish aims in mind,
Do seek to lead, yet stay unkind,
Forgetting that with every win,
Comes responsibility within.

Thus, as the election comes to pass,
And candidates do make their class,
Remember well the words they say,
For they may lead astray.

For while the election may seem bright,
And leaders may appear to fight,
For what is right and just and fair,
With time, the truth may soon repair.

So hold fast to your senses, dear,
And do not let the leaders steer,
You to the land of lost delight,
Where all is not as it seems bright.

For in this world of politics,
Where truth is oft’ lost in tricks,
And leaders speak in honeyed tongues,
And hide their motives from the young.

It is important to remain,
Alert and watchful, not in vain,
For those who seek to lead us forth,
May do so with an ulterior worth.

So listen well, and choose with care,
And cast your vote with utmost flair,
For you are the one who holds the key,
To the future, and what it may be.

And though the election may be done,
And leaders may have won and gone,
Remember well the words they say,
And hold them to their promises made.

For it is in our hands, to seek,
The leaders who are true and meek,
And lead us to a brighter land,
Where justice, peace and truth will stand.

So let us not be lost in thought,
Like Alice in her world of naught,
But let us hold our heads up high,
And choose the leaders that will try.

To lead us to a brighter day,
Where all may live in peace and play,
And let us not forget the past,
And all the lessons learned at last.

For in the end, it is we who,
Shall choose the path that we will do,
And in our hands, the future lies,
With leaders that we raise to the skies.

So let us not be swayed by words,
That may be empty and absurd,
But let us seek the leaders who,
Will lead with honesty and truth.

And let us not forget the past,
And all the lessons learned at last,
For history repeats itself,
And we must be mindful of our wealth.

Of knowledge, strength, and unity,
For it is these that set us free,
From the tyranny of false leaders,
And the chains that bind us as seekers.

So let us stand together, strong,
And choose the leaders who belong,
To the people, not just to power,
And lead us to a brighter hour.

For in the end, it is we who,
Shall choose the path that we will do,
And in our hands, the future lies,
With leaders that we raise to the skies.

So let us cast our votes with care,
And choose the leaders who will dare,
To lead us to a brighter day,
Where peace and justice reigns, alway.

And let us hold these leaders tight,
And help them guide us through the night,
For it is only through our trust,
That they can lead us to a just.

And better world, where all may thrive,
And live in peace, and love, and jive,
For it is we, who hold the key,
To the future, and what it may be.
