Bulding the Nation

‘BUILDING THE NATION.’ They sit every session, to negotiate their pay, They talk of how much they need, They complain how taxing their job is, As they sit ‘building the nation.’ They had a strategy this time, To increase the taxes, charges and rates, To cover the ‘government expenditure,’ They also tripled their pay, and accompanying allowances! And said they need it, in ‘building the nation.’ In the name of building the nation, They made legislations, To cut down ‘other salaries,’ And increase the indirect tax rates, They saw it a necessary move, in ‘building the nation!’
