Ghost In the City

Where is the way?
Pointing us to the wilderness 
A dry desert that kills
Everything is Invisible 
Possessing dark liars
Saying pleasant speech of a cooling water 
No wonder you're Ghost in the hiding
Your Children are thirsty
And your youth no longer want
Selfish behind the scene
Trading cheap deception 
We are the nation, the land we toiled.
You are the head, stop bitting the tail
You conceived us, yet you threatened our height.
We are blind already, 
Our neighbors mocked us,  
Spelling all kinds of profane.
The economy is down the drain.
What do you care for? Your house is in joy.
Time ago your trees bow - Pleading.
The generous nation give you heed
Suddenly land is seeing a visible Ghost 
Your people are slumping daily
The asylum is as the full river 
The bay has gotten enough.
The market is speaking strangely.
