Political Prostitution

political prostitution
not stable 
not even with their 
words nor 
actions 
they got no vision
for the people 
is just about business
yet we pay the 
price of their games

political prostitution
not reliable
never keep to 
his words 
his action are 
painted with 
colours of manipulation
he never stand for 
his  country
neither does he 
defends the justice
of the land 
is business as usual
yet we pay the prices
of their games

political prostitution
never work with one 
political party 
always jumping around
hoping off and on
from one political power
to another 
for his own interest
always denouncing out
and swearing in to 
different parties
like prostitute
he go no mission
for us 
but vision to earn
more money 
the parties are their 
shad 

political prostitution
always with lies
always manipulating
always deceiving
always intimidating
we need them no more 
we need to move 
ahead
we have had enough
the more of their shadow
the more suffering keep
knocking on our doors
the more protest
on our street 
the deaths on our streets
the inflation on our land 
so if we must survive
we need no more 
political prostitution

Richard, politics, like a fig leaf, conceals much shame.
