Letter From the Street
We're group of jobless decision makers
Parallely arranged in sequences that lead to our leaders' happiness
We check marked their names/throw in boxes
With hunger and pains in our stomachs
Dissatisfactions and sorrows in our veins
With bitter words on our tongues.
We picked them for better changes
Because we're tired renting from corruption
Justice system is now a place of negotiation
We trusted every single word they said
But their tongues sugar-coated those words
And we madly believed.
We are dying out here
Economic growth is awaiting gemination
Our daily bread is hardly received/no matter how we tried
Strong men with strengths are crying
What about our grand mothers and fathers in the real areas
There is no job/no freedom/nowhere to go/here is now like hell.
