Irony 101

One can live half ones life in America
The old citizen survives, survival need
I complete three years in South Africa
Know I am alone, no police, in my need

Many millions manage such lives
Adjust to the biggest kids on the block
No first reaction to get justice, knives
Or one's rights (democracy mere dialog)
