The Shark

I hear people talking of hunger
The masses getting poorer
Politicians looting beacause they 
got the power
Will the change come from the 
future leader?


Daily falling standard of 
education
To get employed now needs 
connection
If you protest you end up in 
detention.
What is the hope of our  
Nation?


Are we still the leaders of 
tomorrow?
But now they want us to walk in 
their shadow
All we left with is the marrow
Are they really unstoppable from 
causing sorrow?


When I look through the mirror
All I see is the hope for the 
future
You can look through the mirror
You can be the hero and never 
a failure.
