Empty Treasury

When they keep roaming about
Know something is coming aloud
They will share a plate with thee for now
All for something that you can't see around 
Once they gets hold of it, boom! they land

Much disbursement on franchise 
Lot of buy buy to appease
Too much bank drafts in the street 
But they accumulates back to the teeth
All for proper usage overseas 

After ascending the throne, 
They grew bones with horns 
They become rulers with thorns 
Control seats from home
Rotates the post with nepotism 

Lot of godfathers settlement 
Too many lavishing and merriment 
Life overseas for enjoyment 
Offspring no where at the moment 
But are groomed for the movement 

Empty treasury they complaint
Precursor have grind the nation 
They have flown with the lot
But budgets is appreciating 
Allowance never depreciating 
Empowerment still rolling in 

Little wonder if it's a journey of mandates 
Why they find it difficult to locate the gate 
If they can not really appreciate 
Because the nation is not their mate 
Whether stepping down would lead to hates
Since the masses have no right to the cake.
