A father who curses one of his kids with the sting of Jingoism
the nuclear, becoming a toxin to the entire organism.
Leadership, void of manifesto will only harm and divide
even under the thickest google, the cataract cannot hide.
Neglecting the wide road to stubbornly follow the ditch
and trying so hard to play wonderful football outside the pitch.
Arrogance and cluelessness execute every method wrongly
then the grand excuse that things are moving but slowly.
Hands choreograph to emit a feeling so smooth
underneath, Citizens suffer bites from more than one tooth.
Freezing all good indices in ice but expecting perfection
instead of honour and respect, the people face dejection.
Their unheard cries are dumped in a rusty pigeon hole
and tears pour and dry up in a leaky old bowl.
Even in the ineptitude and poverty, tyranny features
four years passed and everything is in need of sutures.
in the man-made famine, some still sing sweet songs
any pair of lips not in line, condemned is its tongue.
In the next polls, the people's expectations will not go stag
change will come, decorated for democracy to brag.
