Dear Minister

Dear Minister Do you know The lament of the people you rule? Rule in a world you aren’t invited to rule The injustice of your mistakes we bear While you smile and salute our money away A catastrophe of governance That you have caused Mislead and cheated Twisted and so corrupted Where did you learn to master this art Of keeping so many in the dark About your numbers and fortune? Alas the damage has been done I ask out of innocent curiosity Do you repent, are you admittedly guilty? You wouldn’t believe if I said An incredible example you have set For I an eager youth Will now not dare to join A propaganda you call a profession, so spoilt All your friends, enemies and you Have made me protect my morals And my cherished values I’ve been driven away By your wildfire of crimes Learnt to keep my hands clean To not to be made to bleed. You’re no servant of democracy You’re just an embodiment of hypocrisy A shame that our country Must submit to A spot in our history Of fools With a humble request Such as mine I beg you on behalf of the people Please don’t come back Return our money All the gold Along with the gifts and bribes you hoard Give us back all of that Then turn yourself in Leave this game This arena that you have made Full of cheaters This is all I have to say Thus I take my leave with a sigh An insignificant plea To voice the country’s cries Free us of our plight Thank you dear Minister For your time And for sucking our country dry.
