Society and Politics

We're held by the reins of politics,
The lies, the truths and the deception,
The misguided pathways and the hell ways,
The unknown and the hidden facts.

Is there someone else behind the mask?
Or there're too much complexities woven in the tasks?
The society is overburdened,
The people are dispirited.

Trust yourself first and expect the unexpected
 should be the watchword,
Then mayhem will not be a readily drawn sword,
Then we’ll find a road to cross.

There’s confusion at the centre,
The books don’t seem to proffer solutions,
The people seem to be accustomed to their hard ways,
Redemption is miles away.
