SAVAGE KINGDOM
Welcome to savage kingdom
Very bountiful but deadly
The kingdom where only the
Fittest survive and thrive
Striving seriously for a living
The weak and fearful are preys
Societal programming the tools.
Welcome to savage kingdom
Where the sheep are scared
Of the wolfs and cats but
End up been eaten by the
shepherd their care taker
Slaughtered for feasting.
Welcome to savage kingdom
Where sheep are mediocre
But act like the king
Frightened amidst danger
Begs for others approval
Worry over others opinion
Then killed by fear of the unknown.
Welcome to savage kingdom
People selling dreams they
Can't afford just to feel worthy
People denying truth for deceits
Instant self gratification the game
Integrity and meek people
Are seen as fearful and weak.
Welcome to savage kingdom
Where brothers sell brothers
Just to gain attention from stranger
Without direction accepting less
Choosing to play small forever
Creating future liabilities
disabling the mindset of the
Next generation to be limited.
Welcome to savage kingdom
For you to experience true love
You have to be wealthy and foolish
Giving selflessly without seizing
Refusal to go their ways or obey
They start attacking you mentally
mimicking and bothering you
With temporary lifestyles.
Welcome to savage kingdom
Where teachers enlightens the people's
Mind but rewarded savagely, the villain
Where preachers punishes with words
But rewarded bountifully, the master
In this kingdom money is everything
Knowledge and education are norms
But ignorance the peoples choice.
Welcome to savage kingdom
For you to be successful is
Not what you know but who you know
A lady requesting from her boyfriend
What her parents or siblings can't afford
Where the rich always brag feeling powerful
Unaware the wealthy ones don't showoff.
Welcome to savage kingdom
Where skills are neglected
incompetence been awarded
Sentiment the order of things
Those driven by purpose they bully
Those constituting nuisance they empower
Retired civil servants don't get paid
corporate bodies striving for supremacy
Forgetting to give the best service.
Welcome to savage kingdom
Where no food for lazy men
But lazy women eats 3 square meals
Criminals hold prominent position
The legitimate their subjects
election connection not democracy
Winners Rulers not leaders do as I say
Failure to obey, strike off from power
Strife everywhere, people lamenting.
What is the resolution for this savage kingdom??
