Lost Touch
lost touch
sweet words on the lips
of a deceiver is equal
to no words
promises on the mouth
of politicians
could be equal to
empty words
if not why have they
lost touch
lost touch
they stand as our leaders
so confidence on election rallies
with empty words that sounds
promising
as we stand so foolishly
listening and believing
this words like the saviour's
are close to our needs
everywhere we hail
and chant their political
names like we finally
found the God saint
at the end of the day
they got the staff of power
only for their greed and
by their actions
is obvious that they have
lost touch
lost touch
they once touched
our souls with lies
they once touch
our hope with
hopelessness
they once touch
our life's in shadows
of poverty
they once looked
like the messiah
that can end our
miseries
they once made us
happy with empty
promises of change
till now they still
touch us with
brutality
when we understand
that they got no
knowledge to touch
our lives positively
cos they have
lost touch
lost touch
they have lost touch
cos they got no more soul
their actions brutalise
our soul
their greed creates a stagnant
growth to our future
their ideology is a scam
and now our life's pays
the price of corruption
our youth are in pains of
scarcity of basic needs
and dieing in hunger
yet we got them that are
full of promises from
the beginning of our
struggles of hope
in staff of power
to protect and serve
where they also where
born
where they grew up
where they were too feed
and educated
given a privilege to
the point of power
what else they need
from us
is a shame they gave their
back side to our sacrifice
and that makes it obvious
that they have
lost touch
