We have kept our own promise,
so when are you keeping your own promises?
We voted for you
even though that some rigged into power.
Have we not kept our own promise,
so when are you keeping your own promises?
Do you think that we have no right
to know about your public office activities?
You make decisions we are not aware
which you keep secret and still abuse.
Are the promises you made
to be corrupt,
pinch money,
fracture laws
and do all species
of things which harm us?
We did not know that you were incompetent
and unable to do your job properly.
If we do not get your meaningful promises
Would we not break our own promise next time
by voting for you at the polls
with stones and dogs?
