Mediocrity Rivals Corruption

Titanic battle unfold as foreseen and planned Almost the egg and the chick story ever told A complex battle and partnership that desecrates While they flex for supremacy of a land barren Tomorrow’s temples lie in reckless shambles Good has never been discredited to high degree Excellence lost her place in today’s agenda The dogs have conquered the temple with wild snarls They gnaw away at the fabrics of the core of life In a land where Idiocy is the credential that qualifies Upturned values changing the scope of life In corruption we allowed mediocrity and wallowed In fervent prayers for idiocy to change form in time A nation overwhelmed by real capacity in real tatters Leaders of the lot confused in their ignorance and shame Nation under siege on two fronts by identical monsters Corruption has begot his biggest rival mediocrity Leadership scripts oozing Mpu na iti (impunity)
