Love Poem: Thank You

Thank You

Thank you,
To all who showed restraint,
And refrained from Vandalising signs,
Put up by those hoping to be elected,
To serve on local bodies.

I know more might have been tempted,
So give yourselves a pat on the back,
For letting democracy run its course, 
And leaving it up to your vote to give vent to your feelings.

Despite all its vagaries, 
Seeming to most as changeable as the weather, 
Democracy cuts less lives short,
Which other alternatives bear witness to.
