A Step Too Far

a step too far
breaking news 
on my TV 

I was surprise to see 
my president again 

as he utter his speech
I was interested and happy 
to listen 

I was full of hopes 
not until my right was 
seen as a step too far 

what a shame 
what a word 
what a president

 after 3months
away from the country 
this was his message 

but am sorry 
my right is my right 
our right is our right 

the country is a mess 
our economy is falling
speedily down 

the people are disunity
as much as we claim united

our business are in closed 
our wages are zero 
and when we fight for
freedom

oh God I get confused
our President 
say is 
a step too far!
