Honor
my peers have forgotten what it is that brings honor
and the right hour
that we were supposed to take over
and turn things around
they are sinking deeper into corruption
they fight for higher positions
so they can steal
and enrich themselves
selling our land to foreigners
i pray unto God
to raise us a nation
that's going to hate corruption
and despise all the acts related to it
we lack vision and confidence
and really ignore
what it is that brings honor.
