The Cheater

Educated she is, in one of the finest school abroad Through the blood and sweat of my innocent people Now she is here to pursue her life’s real ambition Aided by the shadow of her dearest loving father Waving to the welcoming crowd, smiling like a star Then with confidence she delivers her magic spell Of peace, economic growth and of political stability In a short span, our beloved motherland will be back To the top, where she once before, she proudly tells Hopes and contentment are being etched in the faces Of the many, who never seem to stop worrying for What to eat and what to wear, so, one must lead The country to prosperity from chaotic leadership That blackens the dignity of my brothers and sisters Suffering deep humiliations from the foreign hands In exchange for a penny of five to support the family She pretends to be a star, really, she is a great star Her avid followers are tirelessly spreading the news Of her, being a god fearing servant, yet, her prince Unbeknownst, is a top gambling lord, under her skirt She doesn’t seem to notice her prince’s illegal deeds For she’s too damn evil of her own, a cheater of a kind Thanks to the whistle blower, who exposed her color- Her true identity, immoral, worst than her predecessors Yet, she doesn’t want to relinquish the stolen throne To cover up, she uses all her power in order to restore Her pride, in return, the freedom of speech is repress And those who challenge her will is silence to death She is, indeed, a star and she will never be forgotten For a star without shine, always takes the center stage To you my people, rise and stand against ruler like her If, you want to see our motherland once more on top
