Us Elections, Nov 2004

Its all over for now And perhaps, for the next four years to come! Months of hard work has come to an end all of a sudden. Whatev'r the outcome, it was great! The people have given their verdict as to who should lead the country once again! And this is how Democracy works; A deep divide exists howev'r amongst the voters today; There can be just one victor; The other concedes defeat. It is time to unite; It is time to heal; It is time to understand the fact that A few thousand voters can change A nation's destiny! The loser is NOT really a loser! He had mustered almost half the votes; He represents a colossal figure of hearts That are still behind him always. So, the victor should NOT gloat, Nor revel or lose his head; He was just lucky to stay ahead, For, God was by his side. Now is the time to think And ponder why so many Voted against him; Now is the time to sink The differences and work For the common good of all. There is no time to waste; And one mustn't be in haste; A nation has problems beset, That have defied solutions yet. Emotions will run high; Many will simply cry; For success that was nigh, Eluded the other guy. But this is how it works- the people's mandate! Forget the past mistakes; Start afresh today; There are problems galore; And come will many more! For now, the elections are o'er; Heal the hearts that are sore!
