It is the time to have your say
on the appointed day.
For some the clear choice
will be obvious,
for some invidious,
an uneasy Hobson’s,
for the pragmatist an opportunity,
for the idealist a quandary.
It may be déjà vu all over again,
the same old wine
in new bottle as it were,
but there is that special offer
which is hard to resist
with the added seductive zest,
not forgetting the promises
in beguiling guises
from silvered tongues and
in honeyed words delivered.
There are interests, short- term
or at best medium term
unquestionably at stake,
while the long-term can take
care of itself if it lasts the time
fixed, until it is the turn
of another dispensation.
