Why Impoverish Us

Heaven and earth you promised On your knees you pleaded you selfish ingrate, Bastard on your father's land Our help you sought for All for your ruminating stomach Our votes you asked for to quench your political thirst Tell me, you myopic being Tell me! what wrong we've done you Have you suddenly turn dumb, dear politician? conscience you've not? Our votes you received your steeping stones to power Why impoverish us? our rights you suck deep National cake you enjoy your promises you neglect The poor you strangle impoverishly the rich you discomfort You sycophantically deceive us Why impoverish your people? Why impoverish your your father's land? Why betray your source? Dear politician, why faminise us economically?
