Politicians' polished talks, promises on soapbox's high, implementations mirage.
Votes bought, people sell rights, benefits nigh.
Stipends scarce for day's keep,
Masterminds of deprivation, citizens weep.

Servants pose as masters in corruption's game,
Underdevelopment's shadow follows the people.
Reaping what's sown, in the fields they till,
Politicians' promises, a bitter pill.
