Hamas Elections Denounced By Democracy


I want to write about the future of Palestine
For I am concerned at this point of time
The present does not bode well for us
We are in a predicament, we are in a mess

In our insecurity we have crumpled
In our confused state we have mumbled
Expressed an incoherent message
As our future was a sealed presage  

You see we held fair and honest elections
And the party with the most votes had redemptions
Hamas redeemed its entire good works
As the voters presented their candidates with perks

And yet Democratic nations rejected democracy
This does not make sense, this is crazy
And so international funds were cut off
And reactions were expressed in a huff

Elections were not acceptable to the West
Because they did not think it was best
Best for them as they were defeated
Their Party, Fatah, was deleted

Is this justice I ask you?
Can this be democracy too?
It is what many call hypocrisy?
It is everything beyond crazy
