In this grand land where eagles dare to soar,
A contest fierce for leadership does rise,
From different corners, candidates implore,
To lead with vision under vast, free skies.

One side, with zeal, claims the old guard's sin,
The other shouts of progress, change, and light.
Each voter's hope, in ballot boxes, pinned,
For peace, prosperity, or perhaps a fight.

The airwaves filled with promises and scorn,
Debates where truth and fiction are entwined,
The people, with their votes, a future form,
In this democratic ballet, well-defined.

A decision looms that all must embrace.
A nation's heart will find its rightful place.
