Mr President

Mr. President, it was in your political manifesto,
That we shall have milk taps by our backyards,
And with milk flowing from the government treasury,
Mr. President, what do you have to say of that now?

Mr. President, it was in your political agenda,
That our gardens shall be free of the public weeds,
And each crop to access the free national atmosphere,
Mr. President, what’s your word on that now?

Mr. President, it was in your political vision,
That the curtain in the government shall be torn,
And transparency be the core of our nation,
Mr. President, what’s your take on that now?

Mr. President, it was in your political promises,
That the red carpet shall stretch to our homes,
And our streets be roaded with gold,
Mr. President, what’s your view on that now?

Mr. President, we know you want another one,
That you shall provide wings for each citizen,
And the horizon shall no longer be the limit,
Mr. President, what’s the truth about that, now?
