Tribalism In Society

Some  people  in  the world,
they  ask  them   selves
why  they  suffer  a lot,
when  others  enjoy  its joy.

Really it's  right,
and  i can't  oppose  at  all,
because  it,s  common
where   leaders  are greed,
and  think  themselves
to  be above  the law.

One  time   i tried to apply
for a job but  they  rejected me
because i  wasn't   a 
of   the   officer   in  charge.

I   just  went   back home
to   fetch   water   for  sale
for my  family to live.
Oh! tribalism  is  death.
