Time Will Tell

Why did our fathers’ fence fell And the fortunes of our motherland thrown into the well? -Like a veteran midwife with the history of abortions We have failed to hatch the golden eggs of our pride and passions. Why did our laws turn flaws And charlatans made our charters grow claws? -Like the bright beam of utopia before reality Light have failed to go beyond the dark cobweb of our fantasy Why did our lands turn islands And the gloomy cloud shielded the truth of reality from our minds? -Like a plagiarized poem before a forensic expert Our political spies cannot fathom the faulty tone in our country’s concert. Why did our sages’ pages fade? And our green garden grows too thick for the saintly spade? -Like the termite that is sentenced to die in sawmill Corruption has glued itself to our land and blown up our bill. Time! I say time will tell, One day the snail will not be shielded by its shell -Like the shadow behind the man that leaves his shelter , The belittled bush meat will hunt and catch the hunter.
