How Did We Get Here

How did we get here Those who ask us to vote Knew the winner If not our political reality Will be far different from today Is a Shame how our youth Now wishes prays and hope To run away from my country Everyday different bad news The economy keep squeezing the poor The cost of living keeps getting higher While the income keep getting lower How can we solve this equation Despite the personal cuts to save cost Yet is not easy to pass each day without stressing out for basic necessities Then I keep wondering How did we get here How did we get here I don't offer no blames Cos the reality is clear We give chance to those who Choose to devalue our dignity We offered them space and services They don't deserve We hail them to power offices We make them popular on bases They don't deserve We offer them the grace to kill our structure We gave them all the resources they needed Yet all they do is what they know how To do best This can never change with out A strong hands We have been better but for long years now We have jumped from Frypan to fire So I ask again like always How did we get here
