The beat goes on

Since you have been gone A lot of water has passed under the bridge A mixed bag of events have occurred Leaving behind earth-shaking calamities Difficult to quantify As confusion like whirlwind Keeps spreading and threatening The very fabric of National Cohesion Nobody knows what to believe anymore As looters of our commonwealth Keep spewing unbelievable theories From two sides of their mouths Shamelessly going back To their vomit of years gone by To satisfy the cravings of their current masters While citizens continue to wallow in abject poverty Confused and traumatized Where their next meals will come from As their purchasing power has been eroded By the demise of the national currency Clubbed to death by inflation And market forces Never experienced in our chequered history
