Wasted Man In a Wasted Land

Wasted man in a wasted land
He got no hope of survival
Cos his country is highjacked
By corrupt leaders 
Who never care about the benefits
Of their people
But their own selfish interest
He got no job 
So each moment he is always
On alcohol
Drinking away his pains sorrows and agony 
There is no future for him in a wasted land
Destroyed and devalued 
by his greedy leaders 
So he never mind with alcohol  to get wasted 

Wasted man in a wasted land
So many men are similar to wasted men 
They got no means of survival
It too difficult to survive
Under a tough and hard core leaders 
That really don't look after the common man 
They allow them to waste with out care 
Or support 
And they create desperate
wasted men like the 
Wasted man in the wasted land

Take heart, wasted man. Be faithful. Jeremiah asked why the wicked prosper, as did David in the psalms. Good words in your poem, my friend, but God is sovereign, and we catch but a glimpse!
